The myth of the carp at the Dragon's Gate Falls.
There is an ancient myth in China that is a small carp can swim upstream through the rapids, jump through the falls, and finally jump over the Dragon's Gate, that carp would be made into a powerful Dragon. This is an ancient story that teaches the universal truth that will power is often at least the starting point to great deeds
