Tiddalik the Frog

Tiddalik the Frog is a figure from Aboriginal Australian mythology representing a water-bird frog whose greed causes a drought. He drinks all the water in the land, leaving nothing for other animals. To restore balance, animals band together to make Tiddalik laugh, releasing the water and bringing life back to the environment. The story illustrates themes of greed, balance, and community, highlighting the importance of harmony with nature. It’s a traditional story used to explain natural phenomena and moral lessons within Aboriginal culture.
