It is said that there lived two dragons originating from the Bamboo Curtain country, the two dragons have no children so very happy to find a human baby that oscillates the ocean. This baby was stranded by the sea because the ship from his parents who were destroyed was hit by a storm. The baby is treated by both dragons to grow up and become a beautiful woman who is also known as the dragon princess.
As he grows up, the Dragon Princess feels uncomfortable because he realizes that he is not the real child of the dragon but a human. Princess also asked permission to both dragons to be allowed to find her parents. But for fear of losing his adopted son, the two dragons never allowed the princess to get out of his home.
One day, the two dragons were about to leave for a long time. After leaving the princess for quite a long time, the princess desperate to get out of her cave and go to the coast. There, there is a ship that boarded a prince who fell in love with the princess. Finally, the princess was taken by the ship to search for his biological parents.

He headed to the top of a mountain before jumping into the ocean to fight the two dragons. In that leap, Mr. Tapa rests on a stone leaving a human footprint of a very large size.
