Can Dragons fly?

We were in the cab, 爸爸 and 哥哥 were talking about today being the last day of Chinese Year. The conversion then led to lion & dragon dances ...

哥哥 : You know, dragons can't fly.
爸爸 : Why?
哥哥 : They are too heavy to fly.
妈妈 : But aeroplane is heavy but it can fly.
哥哥 : That's because aeroplane has wings and propellers mah. (爸爸 & 妈妈 raised eye-brows)

We went ahead to explain briefly how the birds and the aeroplane can fly.


Sometime later, we were back in the discussion of dragons ...

爸爸 : Can dragons fly?
哥哥 : Some can, some cannot.
爸爸 & 妈妈 : Huh?
哥哥 : Chinese dragons cannot fly, they don't have wings. Only English dragons can fly because they have wings mah.
爸爸 & 妈妈 : LOL

Ai yo! So funny!
