Moko: The Tricky Tide

Illustration of water against a curved shoreline. Caption: The tides vary in strength in different places on Earth.

Moko is an explorer. As he travels the world continent by continent, he makes many friends and discovers many natural phenomena which sometimes delight him, and other times scare him. Each animated episode recounts an adventure and takes an "original story" approach to explaining these natural phenomena. In this episode, having managed to get away from the iceberg, Moko and Alarick are moored in the peaceful bay and they decide to fish. They disembark and go off to find branches to make fishing lines. But when they return, the water level has gone down and their boat is beached and the sea is far in the distance. Confused, they go in search of a river, but everything is frozen! Tired and hungry, they return to their boat, which is again floating atop the waves. The sea has returned! Cautious of the rising and falling tide, they take their boat further out to sea and finally throw their lines and catch some fish, convinced that the sea simply wanted to take them to this spot where the fishing would be better.
