He was walking around and climbed a tree, and he found some fruit in the tree he ate 11 pieces of fruit he was thirsty. He went to a nearby river and got some clean water and chugged it. He was bored he wanted a pet he found a tiger a fox a bull a shark and a tucan. He gave some meat to the tiger fish to the shark and fruit to the tucan they were best friends now.
He went deeper in the jungle and found some mud he got stuck in it the tiger got a vine and threw it at Jason. Jason grabbed it and tied it to a tree and pulled himself out he thanked the tiger and fed the animals.
