Mij Friend, Anak

This is a st o r y a b o u t an o ra n g u ta n
called Anak, a n d h ow I te a c h her
to live in the rainforest.

My name is Dian. I take care o f young

orangutans at the Happy House
Reserve. These young orangutans
d o n ’t have families and can’t live
alone. The Happy House Reserve is in
a rainforest. I teach the orangutans
how to live in the rainforest.

Anak is a baby. She lives at the

reserve. I take care o f her every day.
I give her milk from a bottle. I teach
Anak about the rainforest. We have
fun together. Anak isn’t sa d or lonely.

Anak is now four years old. She eats

fruit, leaves, and flow ers, and she
can climb trees. She plays with her
orangutan friends. But I am still Anak’s
special friend.
