Tiddalik

Tiddalik is a character from Aboriginal Australian mythology, representing a frog whose excessive greed for water caused a drought. His story explains how the world was affected when he drank all the water, leaving rivers and lakes dry. To restore balance, other animals devised a plan to make Tiddalik laugh, causing him to release the water and end the drought. The tale highlights themes of greed, consequence, and the importance of sharing resources, serving as a cultural lesson about respecting nature’s balance.
