Soon There Will Be Rain (1959)

Once upon a time, when people did not live on our planet, some animals were. Heavenly king Gromzey loved to play chess with the old woman Drought. But it was not interesting for her to play just for nothing. And she suggested that Gromzey would play on the water. He, without thinking twice, agreed and lost in one day all brooks, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and even swamps with puddles. The animals panicked, they began to think about what to do, because without water everything would perish. And they decided to go to the heavenly king to ask for mercy.
