Synopsis

A Retelling of the aboriginal Tidalik legend:
On a hot day in Africa, the greedy frog drinks all the water. The other animals have to make a plan to get the water back. Lion suggests violence, but fails. Chamelion suggests temptation/bribery, but fails.
Crocodile suggests threats and crow suggests slander, but both fail. The shunned eel sisters proposes humour. They tickle frog, and when he laughs, the water escapes, and the animals have their water back
