Long ago there was a person named Chu Zhuliang who addressed himself as "Lord Ye." It was said that this Lord Ye was very fond of dragons. The walls of his house had dragons painted on them while the beams pillars doors windows were all carved with the creatures. As a result word of his love for dragons spread.

When the real dragon in heaven heard of this Lord Ye he was deeply moved. He decided to visit Lord Ye to thank him.

You might think Lord Ye was very happy to see a real dragon. But actually at very the sight of the creature he was scared out of his wits ran away as fast as he could.

From then on people knew that Lord Ye only loved pictures or carvings that looked like dragons but not the real thing.

人们也许会想叶公看见真龙时会有多高兴.实际上当叶公看见那条龙时顿时吓得魂飞魄散赶紧逃走.
