A king hears of the existence of the singing moon dragons with silver scales that live on a far-away mountain top. So the king, desperate to have a moon dragon of his own, sends messengers to all corners of the kingdom announcing the payment of a room full of gold to anyone who finds the moon dragons. Although many people tried, huntsmen, herders, trappers, mountaineers, etc… no one could find the moon dragons.  Alina, a young girl who’s grandmother told her stories of the beautiful, mysterious moon dragons, lived alone at the base of the mountain and announced she will find the dragons. Even though the king and the villagers laughed at the young girl, Alina was determined in her search. When she slept in a hollow tree, she was awakened by the singing of the moon dragons and was amazed by their graceful flight, their beautiful song, and their scales of shining pearl and silver that shone in the moon light.

She returned to the kingdom and announced to the villagers that she had not seen the dragons, fearful the king would put them in cages or hang their heads on the palace walls. Although she was ridiculed, she knew a flight of dragons was worth far more than a room full of gold.

This is a great message of humanity.
