The bead in the well

If you happen to be fortunate enough
to get back the invaluable bead you dropped in the deep well once upon a time
whose depth can't be known,
who should you owe this to?

"Do seek the bead in the deep well.
Should you find it sometime,
you could fly ninety thousand miles at a breath
riding a dragon flying into the sky."
