Did You Know? (āĻ•িāĻŦা āϜাāύাāύে?)

Monkeys are highly intelligent animals! Just like Chintu was smart enough to ask his human friends for help to save the forest, real-life monkeys can also understand complex situations and work together to solve problems.

Summary / Overview (āĻŽূāϞ āĻ­াā§ą)

"Chintu Saves the Forest" is an inspiring story about a clever monkey named Chintu. One day, while eating sweet mangoes near the forest, he overhears two men secretly planning to cut down valuable trees to sell them for money. Knowing that the forest is a safe home for many animals and birds, Chintu gets worried and angry.

To save his home, he quickly rushes to his intelligent human friends, Rana and Raja. The boys know that trees are essential as they give us oxygen and shelter. They immediately inform their uncle, Mr. Sanjay Basumatary, who is a forest officer. The uncle promises to stop the illegal cutting of trees. In the end, Chintu, Rana, and Raja feel very happy and proud to have saved their beautiful forest together.
