Sandman Stories Presents · Sep 1, 2022 · 14m

Every year, the fire spirit from Gwanak mountain crawls out of his volcano home and burns everything that men build. What is the emperor to do? Can he just keep rebuilding the palace? They hope that a Chinese dragon will keep the fire spirit at bay, but the dragon proves expensive and fickle. Next they try a pond, but the fire spirit figures that out. Finally, a great stone lion is carved. Will it be a match for the great fire spirit? Listen and find out.
