This beautifully illustrated multicultural children's book tells
the story of two young brothers and a magical dog in both English
and Chinese. Once upon a time, at the foot of the mountains called
Zhongnan in the Shaanxi Province of China, there were two brothers
who lived alone and depended on each other. One day, the elder one
dug out a bronze dog while tilling which made the brothers very
happy, as they could sell it for money. But unexpectedly, the
bronze dog suddenly got bigger and swallowed the elder brother.
Having seen this, the younger one rushed to find a hammer,
intending to smash the bronze dog to save his brother. In order not
to be destroyed, the bronze dog promised to give the young boy
three gifts which he wanted most. But he told the dog he would
rather ask for nothing but his brother. The bronze dog was deeply
moved by the love between the two brothers, so it spat the elder
one out and magically turned into a real dog. Luckily, the brothers
got a new companion, and all of them lived happily ever after.
