Dizeres de Samurai ( III )

" In China there was once a man who liked pictures of dragons, and his clothing and furnishings were all designed accordingly. His deep affection for dragons was brought to the attention of the dragon god, and one day a real dragon appeared before his window. It is said that he died of fright. He was probably a man who always spoke big words but acted differently when facing the real thing. "
( pág. 38 do "Hagakure - The Book of the Samurai" de Yamamoto Tsunetomo, 1658 - 1719 )
