Inspired by the Chinese saying, 大惊小怪. A dragon, large enough to curve round mountains, roars at a trivial passing canary who stands unfazed at the magnificent beast ahed of it. The dragon is lightly coloured, suggesting it’s ignorance of the wonders of the world, lurking it the shadows for most of its life. The canary, on the other hand, it the color of the sky, it does not belong to this darken place, but rather roaming the iridescent skies.
