AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A story about Tidelek, the great spirit frog who drank up all the fresh water in the land. People tried to make him laugh to get back all the water back from his mouth which cause a great flood. Borun, the pelican, rescued people from the flood and in doing so he fell in love with a woman who did not wish to marry him. He took revenge on the people he had saved and he turned to stone and became the white rock.
