So, a few months later what's everyone's read on exactly how the end of the story plays out? Lyrics aren't normally my strong suit when it comes to music, but I'm sharing this album with some people in a music discord this weekend and it seems like there's a bit of ambiguity/not one established canonical take on it. My view so far is that the bird dies after the encounter with the crocodile, the fox has the final showdown with the bear on the mountain, the bear dies when the cliff gives way, and the fox dies on the mountain but having succeeded in bringing the rain back to their home.
