Grandpa intervenes by sending Jake and Elena to the Ituri Forest. There, they watch a tale unfold where an okapi named Malia show how good life can be when you ‘get it’ and choose to be a winner rather than a loser.
Because of Malkia’s actions, okapis were given the legs of zebras, the neck and tongue of giraffes, and the body of bongos; this was to remind all animals of the importance of making good choices in life.
On the way back to the village, Jake faces a challenge and shows that he’s learned this first lesson well. Thus, his success is celebrated. Before being transported home, Jake reviews his lesson with Nia.
With the learning of this first life strategy, Jake’s journey into adulthood has begun.
