Abstract

Five animals live happily in a broken flowerpot in the corner of the garden: the hardworking "Poronta," the gluttonous "Goronta," the timid "Puchinta," the know-it-all "Kururinta," and the kind-hearted "Tamayo." Tonight is the fifteenth night of the full moon. Before the sun rises, they collect morning dew and pollen to make special moon dumplings. They are worried when it starts to rain, but the moon comes out safely. The crickets join in and a fun concert begins.
