How come you are so hot? asked the dumbfounded Skinflint.
This shirt of mine is a priceless heirloom, Bigmouth explained. Its called the Fire Dragon Shirt. The colder the weather, the greater the heat it gives off.
When did you get hold of it?
Originally it was the pelt cast off by the Lord Fire Dragon. Then the Queen of the Western Heaven wove it into a shirt. Later on it somehow fell into the possession of my ancestors and became a family heirloom. It has been passed down from generation to generation until finally it came into my hands.
Seeing how unbearably hot he was, Skinflint swallowed the whole story. He was now set on getting hold of this Fire Dragon Shirt and had completely forgotten the episode of the gold colt. He insisted on bartering his
fox-fur gown for the shirt. Bigmouth absolutely refused at first, but when Skinflint added fifty taels of silver to the price, he said with a sigh, Alas, what a worthless son am I, to have thus lost my familys treasured heirloom!
Having said this, he took off his shirt and put on Skinflints fox-fur gown. Then he pocketed the fifty taels of silver and strode away.
Skinflints joy knew no bounds. Several days later his father-in-laws birthday came round. In order to show off his new acquisition, he went to convey his birthday greetings wearing nothing but the Fire Dragon Shirt. In the middle of the journey, a fierce wind came up and it began to snow. Skinflint felt unbearably cold. The place was far from village or inn
