Plot
A man drives to a store to purchase an endangered tapir as a pet. He takes the tapir away in a cage, and when he gets home, he is surprised when the tapir begins to speak to him. The tapir asks to be let go back to its jungle, as it misses its animal friends and cannot survive in this new environment. The man is annoyed, as he spent a lot of money to have the tapir as a pet.
The tapir recalls living in the Amazon forest, with little food to eat due to humans clearing land. Its gorilla friend told it that poachers came and sold some of the animals to the circus. Its alligator friend told it that humans have built a dam and now the alligators have no space to live. The tapir wishes the planet could be shared peacefully. The man who bought the tapir realizes the error of his and other humans' ways. The police arrive to arrest the man for obtaining the tapir illegally, but he tells them he has realized his mistake and will free the tapir.[2]
