20 - The angry wave

After many days of rain, the sun has finally returned. Moko is enjoying the seashore on the beach when Mei-Li comes to get him to go fishing. They sail out into the sea and start throwing out their nets. In the distance Moko sees what looks like a hill. Mei-Li tells him they need to turn back, that that is actually a giant wave! All of a sudden their boat is lifted high into the air and propelled forward. The wave rises and rises and is headed directly for Mei-Li’s land. The wave crashes down and drops their boat right at the entrance to the village. The villagers surround Moko and Mei-Li, who have been dropped safely back home. Moko believes that they were kept safe because he knew to trust the ocean.

The angry wave
The rain had fallen for many days and nights throughout the land. On this particular morning, Meï-Li's village finally woke up to a bright sun-shiny day.
Moko had gone down to the beach and was enjoying the calming water, letting himself be rocked by the gentle waves.
Meï-Li arrived at the beach. Feel like going fishing with me? She asked Moko. Climbed onboard a boat that had a sail shaped like the sun.
Once they were out at sea, Moko threw out the net. The sun's rays glimmered on the water's surface in a thousand tiny reflections. All was calm and peaceful.
Suddenly, Moko spotted what looked like a big hill further out at sea... Look, said Moko, there's something strange out there. Hurry, let's head back in, said Meï-Li. It's a giant wave! It's going to swallow us up… The hill of water was growing, little by little, becoming a giant mountain of water, and it was headed straight for their boat!
