Mr. Ali                   : “ Of course dear. Adam! Cut down the tree quickly. You must finish your job before                                          evening.”

Zaki                        : “ Alright, Sir.  But it is more better  if you add one woodman to help me cut down                                              many trees here.”

Sinta                      : ‘’ Shut up ! You should be grateful with us.”

Zaki                        : “ Yes, Sir . forgive me. I just give suggestion with you.”

Mr. Ali                   : “ Don’t speak everything ! Or your wage will be reduce.”

Zaki                        : “ Forgive me Sir. Don’t do it.”

Sinta                      : “ Enough! Hurry, cut down all trees in forest.”

Adam                    : “ Okay madam.”

  Zaki began to cut down the trees. He felt tired and thirsty. But Mr. Ali and his wife were not care about it. They didn’t want to give food and drink for Zaki.

Zaki                        : “ Madam, Sir.”

Sinta                      : “ What’s going on?”

Mr. Ali                   : “ Why are you calling us?”

Zaki                        : “ I’m hungry and thirsty. “

Sinta                      : “ I have given water for you.”

Zaki                        : “ Just a bottle of water ?”

Sinta                      : “ You are garrulous. You are a woodman. You may not speak like that to us.                                                           Understand !

Zaki                        : “ Yes, Madam.”

Mr. Ali                   : “ Enough. We want to go out. Do you job.”

Zaki did his job. Suddenly one of person saw Zaki cut down the trees in forest. 

Anne                     :  “ What are you doing here? “

Zaki                        : “ I’m cutting down trees. Why?”

Anne                     : “ You don’t know, this is forest. If you cut down all trees here,  what about our fate ?”

Zaki                        : “ I just do command from my boss.”

Anne                     : “ So, You don’t want to quit from your job. Do You ?”

Zaki                        : “ My family and I need money. If I quit from my job, we can’t life.”

Anne                     : “ Okay. I’ll call my friend.”

Then Anne went from forest. She met Shifa . Anne told about illegal logging in the forest to Shifa. Shifa was angry. She invited Anne to go to the forest. They met Zaki.

Shifa                      : “ Hello boy, What are you doing ?”

Zaki                        : “ I’m cutting down trees. You know right?”

Shifa                      : “ I know. But do you know about the impact?”

Zaki                        : “I don’t know.”

Anne                     : “The trees produce some oxygen that can use to our respiration.”

Shifa                      : “ The root of trees absorb rainwater. So it can prevent floods and landslides.”

Suddenly Mr. Ali  and Mrs. Sinta came.

Mr. Ali                   : “ I don’t care about the impact.”

Anne                     : “ But Sir…”

Sinta                      : “ Don’t speak! This is our problem.”

Shifa                      : “ But Mom, Sir. It is very dangerous.”

Sinta                      : “ Dangerous? ”

Anne                     : “ Yes, Mom. If you and your husband cut down the trees, the animals will loss their                                           home. ”

Mr. Ali                   : “ But people also need house. So we built housing.”

Shifa                      : “You can built in other area right?”

Mr. Ali                   : “Oh… We won’t do it. “

Shifa                      : “Okay. I will call headman.”

Then Shifa called Headman. She told about illegal logging. The headman tried to take a policy. Shifa and the headman went to forest.

Mr. Andi              : “ Assalamualaikum.”

Mr. Ali                   : “Who are you?”

Mr. Andi              : “ I’m Mr. Andi. I’m a headman here. What is you name?

Mr. Ali                   : “ I’m Mr. Ali, Why?”

Mr. Andi              : “ Oh… Mr. Ali, Please don’t cut down the trees. “

Mr. Ali                   : “ Why I can’t do it. It is my forest. “

Mr. Andi              : “ Are you serious ? Forest is our property. We must save it. “

Mr. Ali                   : “ Oh… you can’t speak like that. Zaki, cut down the trees. Hurry up!”

Zaki                        : “ Okay, Sir.”

Mr. Andi              : “ Stop !Don’t make me be angry with you.”

Sinta                      : “Mr. Andi, We want to help people that need house.”

Mr.Andi               : “Okay but you don’t care with out environment.” 

Shifa                      : “ Mr. Ali and madam Sinta. Do you have a legal letter from the government?”

Mr. Ali                   : “ Why do we must have a legal letter? It is our forest, so we can use it without legal                                           letter.”

Sinta                      : “ Oh… I know. You want some money from us. Zaki take my wallet in the car.”

Zaki                        : “Yes, madam.”

Anne                     : “ Stop! We don’t need you money.”

Mr. Ali                   : “ So, what do you want ?”

Shifa                      : “ We want you stop your stupid project.”

Mr. Andi              : “ Yes sir, madam. Please stop your project!”

Anne                     : “Please think once again Sir. Don’t be selfish.”

Zaki                        : “ Yes, Sir. Actually I don’t agree with you.

Sinta                      : “ Oh… I think they are right. If we cut down the trees, what about the impact after                                           that.”

Mr. Ali                   : “ Dear, What do you means? Do you want some jewelry right?”

Sinta                      : “ Yes, I do. But we may not be selfish. We must care with our environment.”

Mr. Andi              : “ Yes, sir. I can help you to buy land with cheap price.”

Mr. Ali                   : “But…”

Shifa                      : “Please, Sir!”

Zaki                        : “I will help you to built housing but don’t force me cut down the trees.”

Mr. Ali                   : “Okay. You are right. I may not do it. It is stupid project. I’m so sorry.”

Sinta                      : “ I’m sorry for my mistake Zaki, Shifa, Anne and headman.”

Zaki                        : “Yes Sir, Madam.”

Anne and Shifa : “ Okay, but don’t do again.”

Mr. Ali                   : “Yes, we promise.”

Mr. Andi              : “Alright, let’s drop by in my house.”

Sinta                      : “Thanks a lot.”

Finally Mr. Ali and Mrs. Sinta built housing in other land. But it is not forest. They realize that the forest is very important for balance ecosystem.
