The Dragon and the Pearl by August Mergelman

The Dragon & the Pearl is a Chinese Theatre play. Thanks to one naughty little monkey, two folktales become inextricably tangled. The first centers around Pearl. With both a wicked stepmother and stepsister to boss her around, she’s a regular Cinderella story; her fairy godmother, however, is more of a benevolent dragon. The second tale centers around a real pearl—the Imperial Pearl. After the monkey steals it from the palace, the emperor sends his sons, San and Ping, to retrieve it from the clutches of the evil dragon.
