This one starts out kind of pleasantly. In the beginning, we were all sleeping and dreaming, and the world was silent and empty. The first thing to awake was a rainbow serpent, and she emerged from the ground, intent on shaking things up. She started waking creatures up, one by one, starting with the frogs. Still, this new world needed water, all of which was contained in the bellies of the frogs. She quickly came up with a solution.
The rainbow snake tickled the frogs until they began to laugh. In their laughter, they began to cough up water. The water flowed, creating plants and awakening the other animals. Any animal who kept the laws the rainbow serpent laid out would become a human, whereas anyone who broke the laws became stones, which you see all over Australia today.
