    In a vibrant forest, Javan, the Rhinoceros was known for his wisdom. He was deeply concerned about the wellbeing of his animal friends as they were losing their homes to deforestation.

    Leo, the lion king, saw Javan in deep thought and asked, 'Javan, why the worry?' Javan replied, 'Our homes are disappearing, we need a solution.'

    Javan visited Benny, the beaver, known for his engineering skills. 'Benny, can you teach me how to build a home?' Javan asked. Benny happily agreed.

    Javan learned about construction materials, the importance of a solid foundation, and the art of building from Benny. He was keen to apply his newfound knowledge.

    With Benny's teachings fresh in his mind, Javan started constructing. He used mud for the foundation, twigs for the structure, and leaves for the roof.

    Javan worked tirelessly, day and night. His hard work was beginning to show as an eco-friendly shelter started taking shape.

    Finally, the shelter was ready. It was a masterpiece of engineering, made from natural materials, causing no harm to the environment.

    Leo, impressed by Javan's creation, asked, 'Could you teach us, Javan?' Javan, filled with pride, agreed to share his knowledge with all his friends.

    Javan started classes on sustainable building. The animals listened attentively, eager to build their own environmentally friendly homes.

    They practiced together, learning from each other's successes and failures. The forest soon became a hub of sustainable engineering.

    The forest was transformed. Every animal had a sturdy, eco-friendly home. They had learned to live in harmony with nature, all thanks to Javan.
