A man living in a carpenter’s workshop one day decides to build a house for himself when walking through the jungle. He cuts the jungle trees without realising he is destroying both it and the jungle birds’ habitat. When neither trees nor birds remain he has a nightmare about stolen trees; police officers arrest him and put him in a jail. On awaking a massive storm suddenly submerges everything he has built. The man is so regretful about what he has done that he decides to repair the jungle, make it as beautiful as it used to be and bring back the birds. But how will he do it?
