Last summer was mercilessly hot, and the plain is brittle, dry, and bare. The fox is thirsty and desperately searching for water, but neither the chameleon nor the aardvark, neither the gazelle nor the beetle can help him. The monkeys, on the other hand, know where to find something to drink. Mean and greedy, they refuse to reveal their water source. Suddenly, the fox hears a voice from the sand. In a comic-like style, with bright colors and dynamic lines, Nele Brönner tells the story of the little fox who defies thirst and heat, and above all, malicious and selfish foolishness.
