The Respectful Lion

Story Illustration

Once upon a time in a lush, green savannah, there lived a wise old lion named Leo. Leo was known for his immense strength and his gentle nature. He always treated others with respect and kindness.

One sunny day, while Leo was taking a peaceful nap, a mischievous monkey named Momo swung by and started teasing him. 'Hey Leo, you're so big and slow!' chanted Momo, hopping from branch to branch. At first, Leo ignored the teasing, but as Momo's words grew meaner, Leo felt a tug of annoyance in his heart.

Leo took a deep breath and thought for a moment. Instead of reacting with anger, Leo calmly approached Momo and said, 'Momo, I understand you like to have fun, but teasing others can hurt their feelings. Let's find a way to have fun that doesn't involve making fun of others.'

Surprised by Leo's calm response, Momo listened and soon realized the error of his ways. Together, Leo and Momo came up with a game that was fun for both of them. From that day on, Momo and Leo became the best of friends, learning from each other and always treating one another with respect.
