A king is upset because he cannot have a child. One day he sees a snake family and is so made that he curses at them because he is unable to have kids. His wife gives birth to a child, but it is a dragon child that needs meat to eat. Enter a fair maiden, a tricky mother in law, a spoiled hunter cursed by the sun, and the sun itself. Enjoy!
