One day in a forest, there lived a family of Tarzan Salma and Beni who were very harmonious and they lived in a tree house. There was only a husband and wife who had just met and his wife was pregnant. They live far from residential areas and have never met any humans, only those who live in the forest. In their life, they can only hunt and search for their own food in the forest. When night falls they talked,  ”it seemed it was time for me to give birth, sir" said his wife. Her husband sighed and said, "Then you have to stay at home first and just stay at here." The feelings of anxiety seen from this family  every day because they waiting for their child to be born.

They wanted to go hunting because his wife had a desire to eat rabbits. At that time his wife's womb had reached 8 months and 2 weeks and she was forbidden by her husband to go hunting.

"I want to keep hunting with you" said his wife. "If you still go with me and something happens there, it will be difficult for us later" replied the husband, but his wife still wanted to go and was allowed by her husband and something bad happened.

When they were hunting, suddenly from the west there were two hunters who were hunting and saw them from a distance. Because they were afraid to meet humans, they immediately ran as fast as possible but his wife was left far behind because her stomach cramped and difficult to walk. After that, the husband carried his wife up to the top of the house and down again to avert the eyes of the hunters, so that they could not find where they lived. But it is unfortunate that her husband died somewhere because he was shot by a bullet by the hunter.

Salma started for looking her husband when it was safe, she came down and started calling "Beniii, where are you?" She shouted and continued to search.

In the end, she stopped looking and she started crying because she had lost her loved ones and her stomach started to pain and contractions, she returned home to rest.
The next morning the weather was very bright and the birds were chirping loudly. At that time, Salma's stomach contracted very quickly and finally she gave birth to his child, which he named Philip Wayang, who could be called Philip. The atmosphere was happy and emotional when Philip was born because someone accompanied his mother. Philip lives with a lot of animals there and there are parrots who is his best friend.

Day by day they passed together, everything that should be done by a father to be a mother who did it. Every day his mother goes to find food, look for firewood, and much more. When Philip was three years old, his mother got older and started getting sick. But even though she was sick, his mother was still strong to find food for her child.

As the days passed, his mother grew sicker and then left Philip forever. Philip lives alone and accompanied by his pets and friends. Philips grew up healthy and strong as a tough boy and can survive well in the forest. Although he is short and slim, he is very good at hunting, fishing, cooking, farming, climbing, swimming and all the animals in the forest are afraid of him.

One day the weather was not support, the clouds turned black, the storm was very strong, and lots of tree branches fell. At that time, Philips immediately took the wood he had collected under his tree house and burned the wood to warm his body. He was very scared because he only lived alone and no one accompanied him, he just had the parrot. Finally he slept under the tree covered by banana leaves and took shelter with tree logs which he made like a roof.

The next day he went fishing with parrot then, while on the way he heard someone crying. He began to look for the origin of the sound and found a boy lying weak because he had fallen from a height. He fell due to paragliding in bad weather and was dragged into the terrible forest. But Philip did not close to the boy, he was afraid of stranger people entering to his territory.

Philip continued to monitor the boy from a distance and he was still crying and calling "mama ... mama .. mama .. where are you."

Philip returned to his house and took some of the food he had stored and brought it to the boy. Philip comes closer and starts trying to feed the boy but he gets scared and throws Philip away. But Philip did not stop there, he kept trying to feed the boy and follow where the boy went. One time the child met a mouse deer and this mouse deer gave a signal to this little boy that Philip is a kind person and he is the one who helps you while you are in this forest. But this child still does not believe the mouse deer and keeps Philip away. Once upon a time this child was looking for food, suddenly there was a snake from behind who wanted to peck the little boy's leg. But the child survived because of Philip, who was quick to help the boy by advancing to see his face at the snake and the snake escaped.

From that moment, Philip and a little boy became close and friends. The boy gestured to Philip that he had a family but his family was very far away and his family must be looking for him now. They talked a lot about their family, as well as Philip also told to the boy that he once had a family but his family is no longer there. From the moment the little boy told him about his family, Philip had the idea of giving him a way to his family.

The next day, they went straight to explore the forest to take the boy out of the forest. Many of the challenges they have been through such as heavy rain, strong storms, wild animals everywhere but it is not impossible to arrive at their destination. After five days in the forest the boy arrived at the village but Philip only stayed at the border of the forest and the village because he was scared and he did not want to meet a lot of people in this village. At that time they split up and Philip returned to his house and the boy met his family.
