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.”
