Longlong is a dragon born from totemic faith.
Still naive and innocent, he imitates humans and sets off down the never-ending road of copying everything they do.
When the human children in the village play in the mud, he plays in the mud too.
When the human children in the village play house, he plays house too.
When the human children in the village go to school, he goes to school too.
"At the beginning of life, human nature is good... zzzzz"

When the human children in the village go to take the imperial exams, he goes along too.
But he can't understand a single character on the exam paper!
Longlong is upset! Longlong is angry!
Humans are so hard to imitate!
Longlong decides to stop being human! With a dragon's roar, he transforms into his true form right there in the examination hall!
The county magistrate falls to the ground in fright. Staring at the true dragon before him, he stammers, "Quick! Quick, send someone on horseback to the capital! There really is a, a dragon!"

Bonus scene:
When Longlong was first born, he noticed that human children all had names of their own.
He decided to give himself a grand name too.
He thought happily to himself
Dragons become dragons from totems, so why not call myself... "Become Dragon"!
As Longlong congratulates himself on his naming skills, a voice just as childish can't help saying,
"How is that any different from a human calling themselves 'Become Human'? That's so weird!"
Theme: Better to be yourself than to imitate others
