No rating

On one rainy day, a girl from the village walked through the grain field, and discovered a small chicken which was entirely wet. She took pity on the little animal, and took it with her.

When she had brought it home, it started to vomit grain, and in this manner it spat out several sack-full of grains. This was the [above-mentioned] dragon, which was flying through the air at night and was trailing a fiery shine behind it.

I knew that #dragons could take on all sorts of forms in #folklore .

But I have to admit that I did not have "grain-spitting #chicken " on my bingo card...
