One hundred years ago, in ancient Hong Kong, there lived a boy named Paul. Paul was very interested in dragons because he thought dragons had cool magical powers. Paul loved cooking and helped people cook a lot. He also had an astonishing talent that he could be invisible anytime he wanted by wearing an invisible ring.
But unfortunately, one gloomy night when he was in his car coming home after playing basketball, his car crashed directly into a tree. The icy, damp road of that long winter night made his car lose control and crash. The car was dented and Paul had just passed away from losing too much blood. The next day, his devastated family buried him in the ground beside Repulse Bay.
Two weeks after his death, the residents of Repulse Bay heard a strange sound while they were swimming in the ocean. They saw a glimpse of a shadow of a dragon swooping down from the sky. They were petrified and they told the police what they had just seen.
The next day, a resident saw the dragon again but this time, the dragon muttered in a clear voice "I am going to cook with you and it would become a delicious meal." Then, the dragon grabbed the resident and disappeared!
They arrived at the resident's home and cooked a dinner together. The dragon ordered the resident to wash the food and cook a delicious Japanese meal consisting of tempura, udon, and sushi. The person was shocked and quivered with fright. While he was cooking, he saw that the dragon was eating the seaweed!
From then on, the residents of Repulse Bay who have seen the dragon thought he was as funny as Paul and so they named him after Paul. They called the dragon Poolala. The people were no longer scared of Poolala because they realized the dragon was very kind. Every year, they could see Poolala during our dragon boat race. The dragon will appear to cheer them on. Poolala also likes to swim in the ocean every day. One day, it found a pearl on the sand. It was the King's valuable pearl. So Poolala always kept it carefully in his paw and the pearl always stayed with Poolala.
Now, one hundred years later, Repulse Bay has many beautiful buildings. One of the the buildings was built right near Poolala's home. But the residents told the developers to leave a hole in the building because of the brilliant dragon living near it. They wanted to let him have a hole so he could fly from the mountain to the ocean every day. Tourists come from different countries to sneak a look at the magnificent building of the dragon's home.
