Bayani, the binturong, wanders through the forest, his unique scent trailing
behind him, as other animals scurry away, leaving him alone.

(Si Bayani, ang binturong, naglalakbay sa gubat, ang kanyang natatanging amoy ay
sumusunod sa kanya, habang ang ibang hayop ay nagmamadaling umuurong, iniwan
siyang nag-iisa. )
 Bayani tries to approach a group of animals playing together, but they
scatter, leaving him standing alone, feeling rejected and dejected.

(Si Bayani ay sumusubok na lapitan ang isang grupo ng mga hayop na naglalaro,
ngunit sila'y nagkakalat, iniwan siyang nag-iisa, nadaramang tinanggihan at
nasaktan.)
As Bayani attempts to join in the other animals' games, they push him away,
laughing and calling him names, leaving him feeling hurt and unwelcome.
(Habang sinusubukan ni Bayani na sumali sa mga laro ng ibang hayop,
itinataboy siya, tumatawa at tinatawag ng pangalan, iniwan siyang
nasasaktan at hindi malugod na tinatanggap.)
With a heavy heart, Bayani retreats to the quiet depths of the forest, where he finds
solace among the trees and stars, longing for acceptance.

(Dahil sa mabigat na damdamin, si Bayani'y umuurong sa tahimik na kagubatan,

kung saan siya'y natagpuan ang aliw sa pagitan ng mga puno at bituin, umaasam ng
pagtanggap. )
 While wandering through the forest, Bayani stumbles upon a group of animals
trapped in a raging wildfire, their frightened cries echoing through the trees.

( Samantalang naglalakbay si Bayani sa gubat, natagpuan niya ang isang grupo ng

mga hayop na naipit sa isang naglalakihang sunog, ang kanilang takot na sigaw ay
umaalingawngaw sa mga puno.)
 Despite the years of rejection and mistreatment, Bayani springs into action,
determined to help the trapped animals, leading them to safety through hidden
paths and sheltered alcoves.
(Sa kabila ng mga taon ng tinanggihan at pang-aapi, si Bayani ay nagtaksiyon,
determinadong tulungan ang mga naipit na hayop, patungo sa kaligtasan sa
pamamagitan ng mga tagong daan at malalayong liko.)
Ignoring the heat and smoke, Bayani bravely risks his own safety to ensure the well-being of
the others, showing bravery and selflessness in the face of danger.
(HIndi pinansin ang init at usok, si Bayani'y may tapang na inilalagay sa panganib ang sarili
upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng iba, ipinapakita ang kagitingan at kawalan ng pag-aalala sa
harap ng panganib. )
As the animals find refuge from the fire, they look upon Bayani with newfound respect and
gratitude, realizing the true measure of his courage and kindness.

(Sa pagtatagpo ng mga hayop sa ligtas mula sa apoy, kanilang nilingon si Bayani ng bagong
paggalang at pasasalamat, natanto ang tunay na sukat ng kanyang tapang at kabaitan. )
The forest animals gather around Bayani, cheering and celebrating his heroic deeds,
finally recognizing him for the hero he truly is.
(Ang mga hayop sa kagubatan ay nagtitipon sa paligid ni Bayani, sumisigaw at
nagdiriwang sa kanyang mga bayaning gawa, sa wakas ay kinikilala siya bilang bayani
na talaga.)
 Bayani is embraced by his fellow creatures, accepted and valued for his uniqueness and
bravery, no longer feeling left behind or mistreated.

(Minahal si Bayani ng kanyang mga kasamahang nilalang, tinatanggap at pinahahalagahan

sa kanyang kakaibang katangian at tapang, hindi na nararamdaman ang pag-iisa o pang-
aapi.)
 Bayani's courageous acts become the stuff of legend, inspiring kindness and
compassion throughout the forest, leaving a lasting legacy of acceptance and unity.
(Ang mga matapang na gawa ni Bayani ay nagiging alamat, nagbibigay inspirasyon
sa kabaitan at pagkakaunawaan sa buong gubat, iniwan ang isang pangmatagalang
pamana ng pagtanggap at pagkakaisa.)
 Bayani smiles contentedly, knowing that true heroism lies not in strength or popularity, but in
kindness and selflessness, as he continues to live happily among his newfound friends.

(Si Bayani ay masaya at kontento, nalalaman na ang tunay na bayani ay hindi nasusukat sa lakas o
kasikatan, kundi sa kabaitan at hindi maging makasarili, habang siya'y patuloy na masayang
namumuhay kasama ang kanyang mga bagong kaibigan.)
 Binturong
Sometimes called a bearcat because of its appearance, the
binturong is actually a member of the Viverridae family,
which includes animals such as civets and genets. The
binturong has shaggy black hair, which is sometimes streaked
with silver, and wiry whiskers that can give the animal a
rather frumpy appearance. Binturongs smell like buttered
popcorn thanks to scent glands under their tails.
Though binturongs aren’t as agile as squirrels or monkeys,
these creatures are built for a life in the canopy. A tail nearly
as long as the binturong’s body serves as a fifth limb for
grabbing onto branches and tree trunks. With its tail latched
safely around a branch, the binturong can sleep safely high
above the ground.
