After preparing all things, Toad drummed three times. The King of God was woken up when he was taking a nap so he was angry. He forced the God of thunder to take a look. God of thunder looked around and he only saw Toad. He turned to the king of God and reported to him.

The king of God was scared so he wanted to reconcile and called Toad uncle. Toad now was uncle of the King of God. He said: “It have not rained for four years. God, pleased, make a rain or all animals will die.”

The King of God, immediately, requested the God of water to make a rain and said Toad that: “Uncle, whenever the ground was dried you only yell I will make a rain down the ground.”
