JAGAT THE JUNGLE KID
Written by Vi, Illustrated by Ardhi Al-Hafiz
这是⼀个名叫贾加特的⼩男孩的故事，
Zhè shì yī gè míng jiào jiǎ jiā tè de xiǎo nán hái de gù shì, 他 独 ⾃ ⽣ 活 在 丛 林 深 处。
tā dú zì shēng huó zài cóng lín shēn chù.
This is the story of a little boy named Jagat who lived by himself, deep in the jungle.
贾加 特 ⼤ 部 分 时 间 都 躲 在 ⼩ 屋 ⾥，
Jiǎ jiā tè dà bù fèn shí jiān dōu duǒ zài xiǎo wū li,
只 有 出 去 找 ⻝ 物 时 才 会 出 来。
zhǐ yǒu chū qù zhǎo shí wù shí cái huì chū lái.
你 看 ，他 不 敢 冒 险 出去，
nNǐ kàn, tā bù gǎn mào xiǎn chūqù,
认 为 外 ⾯ 的 世 界 充 满 危 险：
rèn wéi wài miàn de shì jiè chōng mǎn wéi xiǎn:
⽼⻁可能会袭击他，
袭来，
lǎo hǔ kěnéng huì xíjí tā, léi shēng kě néng huì xí lái,
谁 知 道 呢 ，椰⼦可能会 砸 在他 头上。
shéi zhī dào ne, yē zǐ kě néng huì zá zài tā tóu shàng.
Jagat spent most of his days hiding in his hut and would only come out to look for food. You see, he was afraid to venture out and saw the outside world as a place full of danger: a tiger could attack him, thunder might strike, and who knows, a coconut could fall on his head.
⼀ 天 晚 上 ， ⼀ 场 暴 ⻛ ⾬ 打 破 了 丛 林 的 寂 静。
yī tiān wǎn shàng, yī chǎng bào fēng yǔ dǎ pò le cóng lín de jì jìng.
树 叶 摇 晃 ，树 枝 吱 吱 作 响 ，⻛ 怒 吼 着 。
Shù yè yáo huàng, shù zhī zhī zhī zuò xiǎng, fēng nù hǒu zhe.
惊 恐 万 分 的 贾 加 特 躲 进 了 ⼩ 屋 。
Jīng kǒng wàn fēn de jiǎ jiā tè duǒ jìnle xiǎo wū.
One night, a heavy storm broke the silence of the jungle. The leaves shook, the branches creaked, and the wind howled in anger. Terrified, Jagat took refuge in his hut.
第⼆天，⼀切⼜恢复平静，
Dì èr tiān, yī qiè yòu huī fù píng jìng, 贾加特⼩⼼翼翼地⾛出⼩屋去觅⻝。
jiǎ jiā tè xiǎo xīnyìyì de zǒu chū xiǎowū qù mì shí.
令他惊讶的是 ，
Lìng tā jīng yà de shì, ⼀只动物就躺在他家⻔前 。
yī zhǐ dòng wù jiù tǎng zài tā jiā mén qián. 那是⼀只松⿏ ！
Nà shì yī zhǐ sōng shǔ!
The next day, when all was quiet again, Jagat carefully stepped out of his hut to get food. To his surprise, an animal was lying right in front of his home. It was a squirrel!
贾加特知道他必须做⼀些事情 。
jiǎ jiā tè zhīdào tā bìxū zuò yīxiē shìqíng.
他⿎起勇⽓⾛近这只⼩动物 。
Tā gǔ qǐ yǒng qì zǒu jìn zhè zhǐ xiǎo dòng wù.
他⼩⼼
翼翼地把松⿏抱起来 ，
带进了屋⾥。
Tā xiǎo xīn yì yì de bǎ sōng shǔ bào qǐ lái, dài jìn le wū li.
接下来的⼏天⾮常忙碌：
jiē xià lái de jǐ tiān fēi cháng mánglù:
他捡起树枝和草来搭建⼀个舒适的窝，
tā jiǎn qǐ shù zhī hé cǎo lái d ājiàn yī gè shū shì de wō, 取⽔，寻找最新鲜的⽔果 …… qǔshuǐ, xún zhǎo zuì xīn xiān de shuǐguǒ……
贾加特第⼀次有了朋友
，看到⼩松⿏康复，
jiǎ jiā tè dì yī cì yǒule péng yǒu, kàn dào xiǎo sōng shǔ kāng fù, 他⼼⾥充满了喜悦。
tā xīnlǐ chōng mǎn le xǐ yuè.
Jagat knew that he had to do something. He mustered up all his courage and approached the little animal. Carefully, he lifted the squirrel and brought it inside.
The next few days were very busy: he picked up branches and grass to build a comfortable nest, fetched water, and looked for the most delicate fruits.
For the first time, Jagat had a friend and his heart filled with joy as he saw the little squirrel recovering.
直到有⼀天 ，松⿏突然站 起来，跳出⼩屋。
zhídào yǒu yī tiān, sōng shǔ tú rán zhàn qǐlái, tiào chū xiǎowū.
贾加特跳了起来 ，⼤喊
jiǎ jiā tè tiào le qǐ lái, dà hǎn:“nǐ zài zuò shén me? bié zǒu!”
松 ⿏ 转 过 ⾝ 看 着 贾 加 特 的 眼 睛，
sōng shǔ zhuǎn guò shēn kàn zhe jiǎ jiā tè de yǎn jīng,
开 始 往 上 爬 ，并 发 出 吱 吱 声。
kāi shǐ wǎng shàng pá, bìng fā chū zhī zī shēng.
Until one day, without warning, the squirrel got up and started hopping out of the hut. Jagat sprang to his feet and cried out, “What are you doing?
Do not leave!” The squirrel turned around to look into Jagat’s eyes and squeaked as it started climbing.
“我该怎么办？”
“wǒ gāi zěnme bàn?”
贾 加 特 以 前 从 未 爬 过 树，
jiǎ jiā tè yǐ qián cóng wèi pá guò shù,
但 他 感 受 到 了 从 未 有 过 的 感 觉：勇 ⽓ 。
dàn tā gǎn shòu dàole cóng wèi yǒu guò de gǎn jué: yǒng qì.
如 果 他 的 朋 友 出 了 什 么 事 怎 么 办？
rú guǒ tā de péng yǒu chū le shén me shì zěn me bàn?
贾 加 特 冲 过 灌 ⽊ 丛 追 赶 松 ⿏。
jiǎ jiā tè chōn gguò guàn mù cóng zhuī gǎn sōng shǔ.
他深吸⼀⼝⽓ ，开始往上爬 。
tā shēn xī yī kǒuqì, kāi shǐ wǎng shàng pá.
虽然很⾟苦， 但他坚持了下来 。
suī rán hěn xīn kǔ, dàn tā jiān chí le xià lái.
随着他爬得越来越⾼，贾加特开始感到更加⾃信。
suí zhe tā pá dé yuè lái yuè gāo, jiǎ jiā tè kāi shǐ gǎn dào gèng jiā zì xìn.
“What should I do?”
Jagat had never climbed a tree before, but he felt something he had never felt before: courage.
What if something bad happened to his friend? Jagat rushed through the bushes in pursuit of the squirrel. He took a deep breath and began to climb. It was hard work but he kept going. And as he climbed higher and higher, Jagat began to feel more confident.
松 ⿏ 爬 上 树，开 始 在 树 枝 间 跳 跃，
Sōng shǔ pá shàng shù, kāi shǐ zài shù zhī jiān tiào yuè,
但 经 常 回 头 看 看 贾 加 特 是 否 还 在 后 ⾯。
dàn jīng cháng huí tóu kàn kàn jiǎ jiā tè shìfǒu hái zài hòu miàn.
⼩ 男 孩 想 拥 抱 他 ⽑ 茸 茸 的 朋 友，
xiǎo nán hái xiǎng yǒng bào tā máo róng róng de péng yǒu, 并把它带回安全的家中 。
bìng bǎ tā dài huí ān quán de jiā zhōng.
当他们俩爬上去时，
dāng tā men liǎ pá shàng qù shí,
贾 加 特 开 始 看 到 光 线 透 过 树 丛 照 射 进 来 ……
jiǎ jiā tè kāi shǐ kàn dào guāng xiàn tòu guò shù cóng zhào shè jìn lái……
The squirrel moved up the tree, started jumping from branch to branch, but regularly turned around to see if Jagat was still behind. The little boy wanted to hug his furry friend and bring it back to the safety of his home.
As they both made their way up, Jagat started to see rays of light shining through the trees...
到 达 ⼭ 顶 后 ，明 亮 的 阳 光 刺 得 贾 加 特 眼 花 缭 乱，
dào dá shān dǐng hòu, míng liàng de yáng guāng cì dé jiǎ jiā tè yǎn huā liáo luàn, 他花了⼏分钟才终于看清了眼前的景⾊。 tā huāle jǐ fēn zhōng cái zhōng yú kàn qīng le yǎn qián de jǐng sè.
但 他 不 能 再 浪 费 ⼀ 分 钟 了，
dàn tā b ùnéng zài làng fèi yī fēn zhōng le, 因 为 他 看 到 松 ⿏ 在 树 间 跳 跃， yīn wèi tā kàn dào sōng shǔ zài shù jiān tiào yuè,
仿 佛 在 向 他 展 ⽰ 通 往 新 世 界 的 路 …… fǎng fú zài xiàng tā zhǎn shì tōng wǎng xīn shì jiè de lù……
Once at the top, the bright sunshine blinded Jagat, and it took his eyes a few minutes to finally take in the view.
But he could not waste another minute as he saw the squirrel hopping from tree to tree, as if showing him the way to a new world…

@Prayitno.g
What is a conservationist Prayitno?
A conservationist is someone who works to protect and manage the natural environment including animals and their homes.
Even though I was born in the big city of Jakarta, I grew up spending hours observing hairy caterpillars, jumping spiders, and colorful beetles in my garden.
With time, I also began to notice human’s impacts on nature: air pollution, garbage pileups, and plastic in rivers... The one thing that really stuck with me were the caged birds at the pet markets, they looked scared and miserable.
I decided to give these birds and other animals a voice and protect their homes.
Oh, is this why you are using this strange machine?
Yes, nowadays, I work in Riau province on the island of Sumatra. This camera trap is able to take photos and videos of animals undetected.
I use that to study animals in their natural habitat. By understanding where they live, what they do, and when they are active we can better manage and conserve these animals.
What animals have you seen on the camera trap?
There are over 500 species of birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles found in the forests of Riau. Camera traps have recorded many elusive species such as the flat headed cat, the sunda clouded leopard, the malayan sunbear, and Storm’s stork, just to name a few.
What is your favorite animal found in your restoration site?
My favorite animal is a small, shy, and fluffy ground-dwelling bird called the Black Partridge. Very little is known about them, and the more information we collect, the more we can do to protect them.
Iconic animals such as the Sumatran Tiger get a lot of attention but every animal, big or tiny, plays an essential role in the health of these forests.
