Without water, there could be no animals and creatures. So all the animals decided to try to get the Pelican to give the water back. Pelican kept flying down from the sky and teasing all the creatures. Each one tried to hit him with a boomerang. None could do it. So they asked Frog , who was goo with the boomerang. Frog tried with his right hand, but missed - then he tried with his left hand and hit that Pelican hard. Pelican opened his mouth and all the water dropped back down to keep the creatures alive forever.Accession Number008.2019Access AdviceFor research purposes only.
