There's a boy called Hogan. He liked dragons and things that were long and scary, but of course, he
not scared by the things.
He thought that he could build a long dragon that anyone could walk on it and have fun, so his
m was an architect. His father was mad and furious because he wanted Hogan to be a nice and
good lawyer or a barrister.

At last, his dream didn't come true, but one thing you must know is, he was the boss of a construction
company called Hogan Construction that was rich and they could build anything they liked. Hogan wanted to
make his dream come true, so he thought again about the long dragon that he thought when he was 10. He
started to design how he could build the dragon.
He started to think what he could buy for the materials and what he could do. Just lying on a sofa and keep
ordering the servants and the staffs to do things? Or do them all by himself? He didn't know what to do! He tried
to think harder. He was confused. He wanted to do all the things and he could possibly think of. He shared
his plans with his staff and they all agreed.
They planned the design of the dragon in a month and they bought all the materials in two months. Hogan
was happy and surprised that he could do these in a few months. But he was perplexed about where he could
build the dragon. He asked his family and his friends but no one could think where he can build it. There's a
smart man called Marcus who thought Hogan could build the dragon across deserts, grasslands, mountains or
plateaus. Hogan found and bought a place that no one would live in it and started to build.
There were no haulers in that time so the architects had to shift the heavy materials from the ground to the
mountain top. Try to think about if you get a hundred kilograms of things and get them to the top of a mountain,
you might die.
After so many years, these “dragons” were created, and the people made a new name for it: The Great Wall.
