IN a jungle, there lived a mighty lion named Leo. He was strong and brave, with a golden mane that shone brightly under the sun. Leo was respected by all the animals, but he felt a bit lonely as no one dared to approach him.
One day, while resting by a pond, Leo heard a tiny, cheerful voice say, “Hello, Mr. Lion!” He looked around and saw a little green frog sitting on a lily pad, grinning up at him.
“Hello there, little frog. You’re brave to talk to me,” Leo said with a gentle smile.
The frog, whose name was Freddy, laughed and replied, “Why wouldn’t I? I believe friends come in all sizes!” This made Leo chuckle, and soon, they began talking about everything from the beauty of the jungle to their favorite things.
Days turned into weeks, and Freddy and Leo became best friends. Freddy showed Leo how to appreciate the small wonders of the jungle, like the buzzing bees and the colorful flowers. In return, Leo protected Freddy from larger animals that might harm him. Together, they shared laughter and learned from each other’s strengths.
One sunny afternoon, Freddy was almost swept away by the fast-moving river when he accidentally hopped in too deep. Hearing his cries for help, Leo quickly leaped into action. He gently scooped Freddy up with his huge paw and placed him back on the safe shore.
