Tidalik the Frog sat down at the billabong to take a drink. He drank and he drank and he drank until there was no water left anywhere in the whole world. Last Tuesday we enjoyed seeing the world of Tidalik come to life as two actors performed this traditional story for us. We saw what happens when one person thinks all the water belongs to him and we watched as the animals tried to trick Tidalik into opening his greedy lips. At the end of the show the performers poured the water (a beautiful blue curtain) out of Tidaliks mouth all over the audience.
The students of Little Princes sat absolutely enthralled for the duration of the performance and there was so much talk about rivers and who they belonged to we have been encouraged to take a trip to the River Torrens to observe what has happened to Torrens Lake... I hope we don't meet Tidalik on the way!
