It starts with a simple complaint by Gecko. Can't Chief Raden do something about those fireflies that keep Gecko awake? Soon Chief Raden has complaints from every animal in the jungle. What can he do? Chief Raden must stop the rain, which is at the root of the complaint. But if he does that, what will happen to the jungle? In this traditional tale, Gecko and all the others learn an important lesson in tolerance.
