Once upon a time, there was a young boy by the name of Matthew.
He lives in a small hut in the jungle all by himself.
Matthew has a lovely pet dog. His pet dog’s name is Putih. It has beautiful white fur like snow. It is a faithful dog and keeps Matthew company.
Matthew collects wood from the jungle every day to keep himself warm especially at night.
Every morning, Matthew hunts for food in the jungle and he likes to eat a lot of fruits and berries.
Matthew’s grandpa gave him some magic beans before he died. Matthew keeps them preciously like gold.
Matthew is really curious about these magic beans, and wonders whether they will turn out to be golden trees.
Unfortunately, a super-cat from another jungle knows about these magic beans. It is very jealous of Matthew. The super-cat will disturb Matthew when it sees him planting the magic beans in the jungle soil.
The super-cat would eat them up as soon as Matthew sows them in the jungle soil. Matthew is very angry and unhappy.
Matthew tries to chase the super-cat away, but the super-cat runs like the speed of wind. Matthew could never catch hold of the supercat and stops its evil act.
However, Matthew remembered clearly that grandpa had also given him a special torch light. Grandpa said like the magic beans, it has magic power too. Matthew thinks he can capture the super-cat with the use of this magic touch light.
One day, as he is planting the magic beans in the jungle soil, the super-cat was standing quietly behind Matthew and ready to grab the magic beans and eat them.
Matthew quickly turns back and shines the light onto the eyes of super-cat. Lo and behold, the super-cat’s eyesight becomes blur and it falls to the ground. Suddenly, super-cat becomes a normal-sized cat, stands up and walks about normally as an ordinary cat. Its superpower to run fast seems to have gone.
However, the super-cat does not want to give up. It tries another trick to destroy the magic beans.
One day, the super-cat brings along a parachute. It climbs up a tree, opens the parachute and flies down from the tree to steal the magic beans Matthew has just planted.
Matthew too never wanted to give up confronting the super-cat. He discovers grandpa has given him a third magical object: a pair of special magic glasses.
When Matthew puts on the glasses with special power, he could see the fast-moving object and makes it slow down its speed. Now, he can control the flying super-cat. Matthew is very happy.
After a few attempts, Matthew succeeded to catch the super-cat while it is flying in the air with its parachute.
He puts the super-cat in a cage and feeds it with vegetable and berries. Matthew takes good care of it and after a few months, the supercat becomes smaller and tame. It is now Matthew’s new pet.
Matthew finally planted the magic beans. They grow to become big trees. These trees give special leaves and fruits that are medicinal. They can heal every sickness and diseases.
Everyone, young and old, live happily and healthily in the jungle.
The trees give out sweet fragrance in the night that calms everyone and puts them to have a good night sleep.
The people in the nearby jungles come together. They dance around the fire when the moon is full and celebrate the gift of the Trees of Life growing around them.
Thanks to Matthew, the boy who never gives up. Thanks to his courage and confidence, gives hope to New Life! Happy People! CHEER!
