Everyone was getting ready to leave so they didn`t pay attention to him. He asked a granny if he could stay in her house and in return they would never see the Nian wreck the village. The granny agreed and ran away with the other villagers. • Later at night when Nian came he saw the house and come to it. When he saw a candle lit and he grew anger so he ran to the house and peeked in. When he saw fireworks, and also the color red. Although Nianwas a powerful dragon he was awfully afraid of all of those things.
