Description

Ever since Arun’s family moved to a remote bungalow, he has been warned to stay away from the forest neighbouring the house.

With its deep cover of trees and strange noises, the forest seems exciting and mysterious. Unable to resist the temptation, Arun slips away one day!

At first, everything is idyllic and serene. The stray deer wandering around, the chirping of hundreds of birds, the multitude of vibrant flowers . . . all of it has him spell-bound. 🦌🐦🥀

However, when Arun breaks a branch from a tree, the guardian spirit of the forest, King Yaksha, has a strange punishment in store. “You think trees cannot feel? Wait till you become one yourself. Then you will know.”

Now Arun is stuck as a tree during the day, and can transform to his original self only at night. 🌳 Does this experience teach him the lesson King Yaksha intends?
