In the heart of the jungle, there was a little lion named Leo.
Unlike the other lions, Leo loved to nap any where under trees, on rocks, even in a pile of leaves!
One day, the animals of the jungle were preparing for the Night Parade, where fireflies danced and animals sang.
“Leo! Will you join us?” asked Ellie the Elephant.
Leo yawned. “I’m too sleepy… maybe next time.”
But when the parade began, the jungle looked so dark that the little animals felt scared.
Leo heard their tiny cries and decided to help. He climbed to the top of the hill and let out a gentle roar.
The echo of his voice made everyone laugh and feel safe.
From that night on, Leo learned that sometimes even sleepy lions can become heroes at night!
✨ Moral: You can help others even if you feel small or sleepy.
