Old Man Model H

the song of my people

Incomplete story, can't think of how to end it xD Lets assume it has a happy ending and the Golden Manakete learns to not abuse his power.

Written:
There once lived a mighty Manakete,
They called him the golden dragon king.
He lived by a lake and when he appeared,
the river would flood and bring forth fortune.

The people would praise this great Manakete
And for him they'd dance and dance
When the rain was low and the times were hard
And he would provide them with a rainy respite.

However, it seemed, he would only do their bidding
If they offered such dances in turns, else he would
Ignore the plight of the people.
He was sure it was not his concern.

"Oh, Great Manakete, would you please provide?"
"Not if you don't give show me a wonderful dance."

If displeased he would make the river surge
when times were plenty and crops were bulged
Destroying villages in large floods

Those who refused to believe in his might
Would often suffer a plight
Too much water, too little of
It seemed this Manakete loved to show off.

His sway of the river soon won him much fame
As well as a very big egotestical head
And so, one day, he was visited by
A younger Manakete who lived a few mountains nearby.

"Golden Manakete, why do you act this way?"
"Why not? I have power, so I can do as I will."

The young manakete shook her head
And with a huff and puff she said
"One day you will be out of luck.
Lady Naga will see what you have done
And your fortune will fall."
