Once upon a time there was a boy named Odesius. He lived alone in a beautiful village. His parents dead when he was 10 years old. And now he was 18 years old. He was a helpful and friendly boy. But, he didn't have many friends. It's because, he didn't an ordinary boy. He can understand with animal's language. So, he was always alone to the forest with his animal friend. The villagers said that Odesius was freak and some villagers said that he was crazy. But everything that villagers said to him, he still to hold one's tongue.
One day, Odesius was walking to the forest. He brought a basket that full with fruits. Before he arrived in forest, Odesius must through a river first. On the way to the forest, there were two villagers. They were Paul and Pedro. They like to disturb Odesius. They also like mock him with predicate "White Elephant." But Odesius never heed it.
Paul and Bruno saw Odesius from the distance with a basket that full with fruits on his hand. Then, appeared a bad intention from Paul’s mind.
“Hey, Bruno look! That is the white elephant!” Paul said.
“You were right. So? I already bored to mock him. We didn’t get any profit!” said Bruno.
“Do you saw what was brought by the white elephant?” asked Paul.
“Hm, a basket that full with fruits! So?” Bruno answered.
“Do you felt hungry?”
“Surely, I felt a little bit hungry after that trip. Aha,, I knew what is in your mind. But how??” asked Bruno.
Then Paul whispered some words to Bruno’s ear.
“How about my idea???” asked Paul.
“Wow, you surely smart to thought about bad ideas!” answered Bruno.
Meanwhile, Odesius was walking to the forest and already arrived in the river. When he arrived on the edge of the river, he heard someone asked for a help.
“Help…. Help me...!”
Then Odesius looked for that sound. He found Paul lie near the river. He immediately approached and helped him.
“Are you okay? What happened to you?”asked Odesius.
“My ring falls into the river. Can you find it for me?”
“Of course with my pleasure.” said Odesius.
Then Odesius looked around to found that ring. He put his basket beside Paul. Suddenly, Bruno pushed Odesius from the edge of the river and he fell into the river.
“Hahahahaha…. You are stupid boy!” said Bruno.
“Bruno, I got his basket. It’s like taking candy from a baby!”
After that, they went and left Odesius there. Odesius stood and out from the water. Then he talked to himself.
“What will I do now? I already arrived here. Better I go to the forest. After that, he continued his trip to the forest.
In the forest, he was welcomed by his animal friends. There were squirrel, rabbit, deer, elephant, monkey, and many more.
“What’s wrong with you Odesius? Why are you soaking wet?” asked the deer.
“I’m okay; I just slipped, when I was going here.”said Odesius.
“Don’t lay Odesius. Please, call a spade a spade!”said the monkey.
“I slipped!”
“Don’t lay to us. We knew what happened to you!”said the rabbit.
“I saw you were joked again by those bad kids, didn’t you?” said the pigeon.
“I only want to help them. I didn’t know if they deceive me.”
“That’s your weakness Odesius. You are too kind!” said the squirrel.
“What can I do squirrel? That’s my strength too”
“We must give lessons to them. Don’t let them do this to you!”
“Don’t do that. If we do that, we are same like them.” said Odesius.
“But if this happen constantly, they will always did this to you!”
When they were arguing, suddenly the lion appeared from the forest.
“Hey you, safe yourself. Magmapulu Mountain will erupt!” said lion with hurry.
“What?”said them all.
“What will we do now? We will die!” rabbit shouted.
“Don’t be stupid. We still have time an hour to save ourselves!” said lion.
“Okay. Deer, rabbit, and the others, help the animals that still in the forest. I will commemorate the villagers about this problem!” said Odesius.
“Are you crazy?? They’ll not believe in you!” said the deer.
“We must try it! Let’s go, that’s no more time! said Odesius.
“Okay Odesius!”
They dispersed and follow what was Odesius said. The animals went to the forest. Whereas Odesius went to the village.
Meanwhile, Paul and Bruno were eating the stolen fruits in the forest.
“Hem, it’s great!”
“You are right Paul. But it’s make me feel sleepy. Let’s sleep for a while.
“Okay, let’s sleep.”
They slept under the tree and didn’t know about magmapulu mountain erupt.
Arrived in the village, Odesius told about that problem to the villagers. But no one of them believed Odesius.
“Villagers, flee for your life. Magmapulu Mountain will erupt!” Odesius cried.
“What are you saying freaky boy? Go away from here! We are busy in here!”
“No, you don’t understand. Magmapulu Mountain will erupt. We don’t have more time.”
“I don’t care! You are a freaky boy!”
“Please, it’s for your best!”
Suddenly, Magmapulu Mountain erupts. It’s eruption seen from the distance.
“Oh no. We are late!”said Odesius.
“What do you mean?”
“I have already told you! Hurry, safe yourself!”
“That kid right. Let’s safe ourselves!”
The villagers hurry to evacuate the village. They brought their properties and keep away from the village. They went to the beach in order to avoid from that disaster.
“Does anybody left?”
“Hey, where are Bruno and Paul?
“Does anybody see them?”
“I saw them go to the forest!”
When they are talked, the animals came from the forest.
“Friends, do you see Paul and Pedro?”
“You mean, two kids which always disturb you?”
“Yes, do you see them?”
“I saw them fainted in the forest!” said the pigeon.
“What? Deer, horse follow me to the forest!”
“What’s for?”
“We must rescue them! Even they wicked to me; I’m still considering them as my friends.”
“Okay, if you have said like that, I can’t say anything again!”
Finally, they went into the forest to rescue Paul and Bruno. In the forest, they found Paul and Bruno fainted and trapped in the fire.
“What will we do? How will we rescue them?”
“Nothing is impossible, we must try!”
Then Odesius jumped into the fire. He lifted Paul and Bruno and throw away them out of the fire. Now, Odesius was trapped in the fire.
“Came on Odesius. Get out from there!!” said deer.
“You go first! I will overtake you then!”
“But,,,”
“Just go!”
“Okay. But you must survive!”
“Of course”
The deer and the horse came back to the beach with Paul and Pedro on their back. Meanwhile, Odesius tried to get out from there. He tried and still tried. Finally, he can got out from there in the nick of time. He ran as quickly as he can.
“Oh, finally I did it. Now, I just come back to the beach!”
On the way to the beach, he heard the villager yelled out his name. The animals also didn’t want to lose. The rabbit squeals, the deer bells, the horse neighs, the pigeon coos, and many more sound. They welcomed Odesius as a hero.
“Odesius, thank you very much for rescue us. We are sorry if we always disturb you!How can we repay your kindness?” said Paul and Bruno.
“No problem. Don’t say thanks to me. You must say thanks to the animals.”
“Thank you animals…”
Finally, Odesius lived harmonious with the villagers and the animals.
