About this program
Two children, a mouse and a goat on a quest to find out where the water has gone. As they struggle up a steep mountain, the rocks tell the travellers old stories from a diversity of cultures they need to know if they are going to begin healing the land and bringing back the water. These stories-within-a-story make an engaging prompt for discussion about environmental realities and responsibilities.
