ey! I’ve got a Bilibie Dragon from the planet Biliba! That dragon’s so fleshy and clumsy! How
about you?” An alien boasted. Another alien moaned, “I’ve captured a Chibie Dragon from the
planet Chiba. Unfortunately, it’s a tiny one, isn’t it?” 3,000 years ago, a gang of aliens kept
looking for as many dragons as possible to sustain their planet Balagoo. One alien mumbled,
“
Bilibie Dragon, Chibie Dragon, Lalu Dragon, Sibi Dragon, Gala Dragon, Mala Dragon,……the amount was far
less than how many all of us needed to catch! We have to work harder! Otherwise, our planet will die in 100
years!” To avoid this foreseeable disaster, the aliens spread this message all around Balagoo.

In response to this message spreading as fast as a gale on Balagoo, commander alien exclaimed with great
determination, “No problem! Let’s use our Super Dragon Detector to dig some more dragons out there!” So, the
whole gang of aliens scampered into the Control Room of their space rocket, undertaking this important task. In
no time, a bright alien spotted a powerful dragon from the planet Earth and yelped, “This dragon from Earth can
make Balagoo survive one hundred more years!” A gang of aliens headed to Earth by a shortcut. Swiftly, they
landed on the Earth with a loud bump.
When the aliens sauntered out of the rocket, a boy and his mother were completely stunned by the aliens
with three eyes. The boy ventured, “Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Mom, look up! They have three eyes! They may be Erlang
Shen and other assistants of Yu Huang Shang Ti, coming to save us from this mischievous Eartha Dragon! Is it
right?” “Absolutely correct! Pray for them now!” His mother replied. They started praying for these aliens.
Gradually, other earthlings mimicked what they were doing. Commander alien frowned and muttered to itself,
“
How come these earthlings are kneeling, pressing their palms, and banging their foreheads on the ground?
What are these messages? ”
In a moment of puzzle, commander alien gazed at what the mighty Eartha Dragon was entertaining itself
with including some usual acts, which ended up with unusual happenings on Earth. Learned from the earthlings,
Eartha Dragon sang in a thundering voice that set massive fire everywhere; stomped to dance, shaking all the
things off terribly like an earthquake; and played in water wildly, triggering tsunamis one after the other. All of
these faults put the earthlings in deep trouble with a lot of damages and deaths. “I feel like sympathising with
these earthlings.” Commander alien thought it over and over. Balagoons used to capturing dragons for their own
interests, but this amazing feeling drove commander alien to capture Eartha Dragon for both the Balagoons and
the Earthlings, killing two birds with one stone.
A series of attempts to capture Eartha Dragon failed and Eartha Dragon escaped from them with ease. One
alien came up with a marvellous idea and uttered, “Why don’t we think of our skilful tricksters! They’ve
succeeded many times using that trick.” Commander alien appointed two aliens to this tough task. Two aliens
cheered, “Let’s do it straight away!” Just a second, they played a trick, turning into clouds of yellow smoke. No
one could see clearly, including Eartha Dragon.
There were two handy weapons fixed onto the alien’s arms - Tickly Wiggly Gun and Rock-forming Laser.
First, two aliens shot their Tickly Wiggly Guns. The tickle bullets hit Eartha Dragon, and it started shaking with
laughter. By the time it was wiggling all over, the aliens also burst into hysterical laughter. As planned, they
started to shoot Rock-forming Lasers from their other arms. Unluckily, shaking with laughter distracted them
badly. They pulled the triggers too many times. They shot too much laser to Eartha Dragon, transforming it into
a chain of stones that would remain the same over 3000 years. Instead of taking it to Balagoo, Commander alien
announced to the earthlings, “We turned the dragon into the Great Wall that will protect you against attacks as
compensation.”
Commander alien kept a secret record of transforming Eartha Dragon into the Great Wall as a reminder. It
said “In 2013, collect Eartha Dragon (the Great Wall) from Earth before transformation back to a dragon. On
that day when the sun and the moon rise at the same time……Eartha Dragon will come alive on our planet
