Greedy Frog

Greedy Frog is a bold imaginative tale underpinned by a wry humour to reinforce the importance of sharing and supporting each other in hard times.

Way back before Once-upon-a-time time, there was the Dreamtime, and Yirray, the sun, drank all the water. A clever frog, Tjidalih, promised to take care of all the water, but he kept it in his pouch. The animals had to work out a way to trick Tjidalih, to make him laugh to spill the water.
