Researchers report that many animals are endangered. Their population is tiny, almost extinct.
Among them are rhinoceroses, elephants, tigers, lions, and orangutans.
Today we’ll talk about orangutans. They are unique because their faces are similar to the
human face. They live in the rainforests of Kalimantan Island. The name comes from a Malay
word that means “man of the forest”. Researchers report that the population of orangutans is
declining very quickly, due to the mass deforestation in Kalimantan Island due to plantations and
coal mining. The governments of Indonesia and Malaysia are very concerned about this situation.

A long time ago, there lived a very hard-working farmer. His name was Toba. He lived in a hut
next to the forest. Every day he worked in his field to grow rice and vegetables. One day, he went
fishing in a river. Soon, he was very surprised, because he caught a big fish. It was as big as a
human being. Then, he went home and took the fish with him. He put the fish in the kitchen. He
planned to cook the fish for dinner.
After having taken a bath, he was very surprised to find a beautiful girl in his hut.
“Who are you?” he asked the girl.
“I am the fish you caught,” said the girl. “I thank you for making me human again. To
express my gratitude, I am ready to be your servant,” the girl added. From then on, she lived in
the hut.
Because she was very beautiful, Toba fell in love with her, then married her. She agreed on
condition that Toba not tell anybody about her past. They had a child, namely Samosir. Soon
Samosir grew into a handsome boy. However, Samosir was a very lazy boy. He did not help his
father when he worked in the field. He slept and ate a lot. Toba was very disappointed in him.
One day, Toba was very angry. He worked hard in the field but his wife never brought his lunch.
Then, he found that Samosir had eaten all his lunch. He could not stand the situation and said,
“You’re a son of a fish.” It hurt Samosir and he went to his mother. He told her everything about
