Finally, it's been 7 years and now the boy has been named Jackie by Echo cause he (Echo) liked it that way. As  Jackie has grown up he needs to learn how to survive. Echo told his monkey friend to train Jackie how to climb trees and swing between vines. And of course Jackie failed for a million times but he didn't give up. Until then he had finally done it. Now Jackie needs to know how to swim. So Echo asked his marine friend dolphin called Dolophy. Echo asked,

Echo: Can you teach my little boy, Jackie to swim?

Dolophy replied in a rude way: No.

Echo questioned with a confusion: Why Dolophy?

Dolophy answered with grief: Remember what you did to me when we were younger?

Echo replied: Oh yeah....

Jackie questioned Echo: What did you do?

Echo replied slowly: I... Dragged him to land...

*Dolophy nods*

Jackie: Oh...

Echo apologized to Dolophy but Dolophy didn't forgive him. And so Echo told Dolophy to challenge him and Dolophy said,

Dolophy: Alright, I challenge you to swim here.

Echo replied with a scared face: You... Got to be kidding.

Dolophy: Nope.

*Dolophy smiled*

Echo: Fine...

*Echo jumps into the river and jumps back to land*

Dolophy: That's it?

Echo: I'm a fox dammit.

And so Dolophy taught Jackie how to swim and of course Jackie drowned a lot of times but Dolophy was there to help. And so Echo was happy that Jackie has known all the skills to survive by himself.
