What the tale is about
In the Land of the Clouds, Bambu is a giant with enormous strength and a wonderfully gentle heart. When a pigeon invites him to a lively celebration in a neighboring country, he eagerly enters the water-drinking contest, certain that drinking the most will make him the winner. After finishing each bottle in one gulp, he keeps coming last. Gökçe, a kind little girl, teaches him the etiquette of drinking water taught by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Bambu follows her advice, wins the contest, and gives her his prize, discovering the joy of learning and gratitude.
