From the back of the book:
in China long, long ago, there lived a poor old farmer with seven daughters. The land was so poor, it seemed he grew more rocks than rice. One afternoon, when the farmer was coming back from town, a huge dragon sprang from a nearby cave and seized the farmer in its paw. "Give me one of your daughters for a wife, and I'll give you your life as her bride price!"
