About "The Paper Dragon":
"Mi Fei is a humble painter of scrolls. Between each day's sunrise and
sunset, he paints scenes of the gods and their festivals, ****traits of
heroes and their deeds. Although the scrolls bring him fame, Mi Fei is
content to live in his village, surrounded by people he loves.
"But one day a messenger enters the village with terrible news: the
dragon Sui Jen has awakened from its hundred year's sleep and is
destroying everything in its path. Someone must find a way to return
Sui Jen to its slumber. To the villagers, only one among them is wise
enough to confront the scaly beast -- Mi Fei."
