Once upon a time, there was a terrible drought that lasted for years. The rivers dried up, the plants died, and all animals were thirsty. The Toad, seeing the suffering, decided to go up to Heaven to sue the Jade Emperor.
On his journey, he met a Crab, a Bear, a Tiger, and a swarm of Bees. They all agreed to join him. When they reached the Heavenly Gate, the Toad saw a large drum. He told his friends to hide and wait for his signal.
The Toad picked up a stick and beat the drum loudly: "Tung! Tung! Tung!". The Jade Emperor was angry and sent the Rooster God to peck the Toad. The Toad signaled, and the Bees flew out to sting the Rooster. The Emperor then sent the Dog God. The Bear jumped out and tied up the Dog.
Finally, the Thunder God came out with his axe. The Toad signaled again. The Crab jumped into the water jar, clamping the Thunder God's leg with his claw, while the Tiger roared and jumped on him. The Heavenly troops were defeated.
The Jade Emperor was scared and invited the Toad in to negotiate. He agreed to send rain immediately. He also told the Toad: "From now on, whenever you want rain, just grind your teeth. You don't need to come up here." Since then, whenever the Toad grinds his teeth, it rains. People respectfully call him "The Uncle of the Sky."
"Uncle of the Sky" (Cậu ông Trời): This famous folk saying means that even the Sky God must respect the Toad. It teaches that unity and bravery can defeat a much stronger force.
Weather Sign: In reality, toads grind their teeth (make noise) when humidity rises before a storm. This story is a clever way ancients explained this natural phenomenon.
"Cậu ông Trời": Câu tục ngữ nổi tiếng này hàm ý rằng ngay cả Ngọc Hoàng cũng phải nể Cóc. Câu chuyện dạy rằng sự đoàn kết và dũng cảm có thể đánh bại kẻ thù mạnh hơn nhiều.
Dấu hiệu thời tiết: Thực tế, cóc thường nghiến răng (kêu) khi độ ẩm tăng lên trước cơn mưa. Đây là cách người xưa giải thích hiện tượng tự nhiên này một cách thông minh.
