The Cable Car and the Dragon por Herb Caen

This is a cute story of a very weary cable car that climbs the hills of San Francisco, then is propelled around and a downward journey occurs. In this story, the cable car is 60 years old and his name is Charlie.

On a magical night, Charlie climbs Nob hill. And instead of taking his usual route, he heads to Chinese New Year by taking a right turn on Jackson Street.

He befriends the dragon who is the center of attention. Soon Chu and Charlie take a marvelous journey.
