Synopsis
A young boy tells his mother about a lion in the meadow, but she dismisses it as a story. To humour him, she gives him a matchbox, claiming a tiny dragon inside will scare the lion away. When the boy opens the box, a real dragon emerges, causing both the boy and the lion to flee. In the end, the boy and the lion become friends, and the dragon takes over the meadow, blending imagination with reality.
