Abstract

en_US
This landscape-formatted book presents Jarrod, who lives in the land of the pond and flies through the air, since this land does not know gravity or shadows. Jarrod is curious about the pond, and his mother warns him to stay away from it. Jarrod's father, it turns out, listened to the seductive whispers of the pond and entered it, never to return. One Saturday, the god of the pond makes promises to entice Jarrod to jump in. The pond eventually promises Jarrod that he will be like him, a god. As Jarrod approaches the water, crocodile jaws emerge from it. Jarrod jams his walking-stick between the jaws to save himself. Jarrod rejects him, and the crocodile never emerges again from the pond. Rather people are able to swim in it. The birds that had egged Jarrod on become friends with people. This is the Garden of Eden and Jesus' temptations in the desert all over again.
