What the tale is about

On a rainy day, Ali Gel and his talkative Bird use a special traveling box and the Encyclopedia of the Earth to visit the Amazon rainforest in South America. In a canoe, they meet Boto, a calm boy who explains that the forest is home to countless animals but is threatened by poachers and tree cutters. Along the river, Ali learns to be careful around unfamiliar fruit and piranhas, then closes his eyes to hear the wonderful birdsong. Moved by the forest’s beauty, he promises to plant trees whenever he can. His mother shares the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) teachings about caring for nature, giving the journey a lasting message of hope and responsibility.
