He was so fond of dragons
that all his clothes had embroidered dragons,
and his columns and pillars also had engraved dragons.
His love of dragons was widely known,
so one day a real dragon decided to visit this dragon lover.
He poked his head into his home
and dragged his long tail down the hall.
The dragon lover saw the head and was frightened out of his wits.
Turning, he ran.
The real dragon finally understood that this dragon lover
loved only the images of dragons but not real dragons.
