The emperor of China sent his sons Wee San and Wee Ping to get the dragon's immense pearl after his army is defeated by the dragon. Wee San used a kite to fly to the top of the mountain and replaces the pearl with a fake one, but as they were sailing away, the dragon came after them. Wee San sent a red hot cannon ball and Kinabalu swallowed it, falling into the sea. When they got home, Wee Ping took all the credit and was rewarded, but died destitute and alone. Wee San went back to Borneo and became a king.
