Answer: Good things come to those who wait.
Explanation: The fairy tale "The Favorite of Fortune and the Child of Ill Luck" is traditionally told. The dragon is a representation of imperial rule, and the greatest Chinese festival—the New Year's feasts—is celebrated for weeks by both the young and elderly.
The verse from the classic Chinese fairy tale "The Favorite of Fortune and the Child of Ill Luck" most likely conveys the idea that patience pays out. One who keeps patience and remains calm in any situation is given the fruit for it.
In the story, because the woman patiently and loyally waited for her husband to return for eighteen years, she was rewarded for her perseverance and faith in humanity.
