Gecko's Complaint: A Balinese Folktale

The endless flashing of fireflies disturbs a well-fed gecko's sleep. Gecko complains to the lion Raden, who is the king of the jungle, sending him on a tour of his domain. But each new animal's complaint leads Raden to yet another irritable animal, and it is only when he speaks to the Rain that Raden finally finds an answer for himself and all his subjects. Gecko's Complaint is a sparkling retelling of a classic Balinese folktale.
