Once upon a time, in a valley surrounded by sparkling rivers and tall green trees, there lived a playful dragon named Longlong. He had shiny purple scales and the friendliest smile. Longlong loved flying around the valley, greeting all his friends with a happy roar.

One special day was coming up, the day when everyone celebrated the beginning of a new year. Longlong was especially excited because he loved the colorful fireworks and the yummy treats that came with the New Year celebrations. This year, he decided to throw the biggest party the valley had ever seen!

He spent the whole morning flying from cave to cave, inviting all the creatures. The bunnies, the birds, the squirrels, and even the bashful snails - everyone was invited! Longlong wanted to make sure this was a party no one would forget.

Longlong gathered twinkling stars from the night sky to decorate the trees. He picked the sweetest fruits from the forest and made a giant fruit salad. And he didn't forget the sparkly streamers! He hung them from the trees so they would shine in the moonlight.

As the sun began to set, all the animals started to arrive. They were amazed by how beautiful the valley looked. Longlong greeted each guest with a warm, gentle puff of firework-like smoke which made the little ones giggle and the older ones smile wide.

The party was full of fun and games. They played 'Catch the Firefly', 'Hide and Seek', and 'Pin the Tail on the Donkey'. Longlong was so happy to see everyone laughing and having a good time. And when it was time for the countdown, they all gathered around Longlong.

With a deep breath, Longlong blew out a breath that wasn't fire, but a dazzling display of colorful lights that lit up the sky as they all shouted, 'Happy New Year!' And so, under the bright lights and with full bellies, they celebrated well into the night, the beginning of a year filled with friendship and joy.
