The Boy and Forests...

The question is how. How to turn this world into a shining world? Like it used to be. How can people live without conflict? Or how to get kids to sleep soundly without a bomb? simple but hard to do. It's hard to dampen something that's happened. Because the milk that has been spilled can not be drunk again.

Do not think that spilled milk is useless, in fact there are living things that drink it. How many forests are on fire? How many lives have we wasted? We can still justify it. That's what the village boy is taking. God knows His servant is strong, as great as any trials we can afford. But how?

Ardi, a boy from Muara Bungkal village, Siak, Riau feels the need to change. Ardi was born and raised in a forest settlement. Her parents are oil palm farmers, while she is only a 4th grader. The place of school is very far from home, through the forest, the creeks, then the school yearning. Ardi including a diligent child, do not complain let alone sad. His life is happy because he has a best friend. His name is green.



His friend is not a human, but a forest. Who had been with him since young until his body stocky as now. From the forest he and his family earn an income to eat and school next year. Ardi is different from other boys, he prefers to plant trees, rather than climb. But, of course Ardi is good at climbing. So he aspires to preserve the forest, but it seems he has to keep it.

There is a time Ardi village visited kelurga city luxury car. For the people of Muara Bungkal Village this is a rare thing. The men briefly looked around the village, before entering the forest. Complicated conversation becomes a hot topic for them. Among them is a girl who plays her teddy bear. Ardi who had been whistling on the tree to see beautiful and white girls enter the forest feels like a flowery. He immediately jumped down right in front of the girl, which is quite far from her parents.
The girl shrieked
"Oy, what are you doing here?" Ardi asked just plainly
"My father is looking to build a project here. Who are you? "
Ardi mngelap tanganya before invite the girl shake hands "Ardi, child of the region here."
"Oh, it's worth it. Kampungan, smell again. "The girl covered her nose
Ardi frowned, soon the parents of the girl came. invited the girl to go home, before it was too late she shouted "Hey, what's your name?"
"Tania" one word that can make his heart a mess

The following day went perfectly, but his mind could not resist thinking about Tania, when he was insulted at the first meeting. Until not infrequently the villagers, even his parents taunted him loves the city girl. Ardi is also still trying to examine the meaning of the word "project", know still a boy. Until finally, there was the sound of heavy equipment cars up to the silhouette of orange red light from a distance. Ardi felt a strange thing in his heart, felt squeezed, especially the silhouette of light that interfere with sleep.

The next morning, a flash of smoke clumped in the countryside sky. There was a little worry in Ardi's mind staring at the smoke. There seemed to be shouting behind him, asking for help. Oil palm workers are prohibited from working today until the cause is known. This is the first time Ardi has seen the village leader come to check on what happened. Children are prohibited from leaving the house, let alone visiting the forest, just for a while.

Ardi must be willing to swallow bitter not meet with green, his friend. The trepidation worried about being so-so after hearing news from the village officials
"The forest is on fire. Almost partially near the hills are scorched, we have to keep watch not to get worse, "said RT village
The residents shuddered "Then we are not allowed to work?" Asked one of the residents. Just shake the answer. Ardi looked down as she pulled him inside.

"Mom, why Ardi can not meet the green? And who burned? Thief?"
"Forgive my mother, honey. But, it looks like you will find it hard to see green. "Her reply made Ardi understand one thing, his friends died.

The next day the haze grew even larger, the police effort seemed futile. Tried almost all the way to the fire hutam out, even as if challenging the hand of naughty to be more down to earth scorched forest. As a result many schools were closed because of the smoke haze. And Ardi was gloomy to see that his leg is no longer green, dry, black. No more leaves, no more rustling leaves, or the sound of fallen trees. All not left. Left with memories.

"Ardi what is your dream?" Learning to be active again, the children must wear masks.
"Keep the forest, Mom." Ardi's answer seemed strange to the others
Mrs. Guru approached Ardi who looked stunned disappointed "Why Ardi want to protect the forest?" Ardi replied aloud
"Because the forest is our real world, which gives us oxygen, and many things are beneficial to it. The forest is also my best friend, ma'am. But our forest mum says it has died from the burning, so my goal is to keep the forest alive. "
Bu Master cried Ardi, the special boy. Putting out fires takes a long time, but God Makes His servant work. In recent times the rain poured Riau and surrounding areas, causing the fire to slowly disappear. But there is a new problem, the forest is bare. There are not many who want to replant the forest when once they were the loudest scream to get it done soon.

Ardi realize his ideals will never be realized if not implemented immediately. Ardi fled to the slopes with a variety of new tree seeds. It seems that for centuries he has not met green. Ardi every home school always stop by the forest, replanting the tree so that the remaining living creatures can preserve the species. Many think Ardi's way is useless, because the land is dead. But, he only replied "If you do not try then the results will be in vain. What will our successors find when we are lazy? No. That is more vain. "

More and more people care about the forest, planting it, taking care of it, even the best-selling forest work. All because of the plain words nan smothering Ardi. A lot of helping hands, the more prosperous it will be. So take care of our forest.
