叶公喜欢龙，他住的屋子里，墙上画着龙，柱子上雕着龙，卧室四面的墙壁上也刻着龙，一条条张牙舞爪。
有一天，天空突然暗了下来，又是刮风，又是打雷，又是下雨。真龙飞到了叶公的家里。它把头伸进了南面的窗口，把尾巴绕到了北面的窗口，把整个屋子摇得格格直响。叶公看到这条真龙，一下子吓得魂飞魄散，急忙躲了起来。原来，叶公喜欢的只是那些画着、雕着的假龙，而不是真龙。

It poked its head into the window in the south and coiled its tail to the window in the north, rocking and rattling the whole house. At the sight of this real dragon, Ye Gong was frightened out of his wits and hurriedly hid himself. So it turned out that what Ye Gong liked was painted and carved fake dragons but not real ones.
