Once in a jungle so green and wide, a lion named Leo felt sick inside. He lay on the grass, his head on a paw, and all of his friends noticed what they saw.
The birds stopped chirping, the monkeys stood still, the jungle felt quiet, a hush fell like chill. "Oh dear Leo, what can we do?" they all cried, for a sick lion was something they all tried to hide.
The wise old turtle, with age in his shell, said, "Let's find some magic to make Leo well. We need herbs and flowers, bright and so fair, something to help him, something to care!"
The monkeys swung high, the parrots flew low, they searched for the flowers that sparkled like snow. They found a green leaf, with a golden hue, it shimmered with magic, and they all knew!
They raced back to Leo, so brave and so bold, with the leaf in their hands, a treasure of gold. "Here, dear Leo, this will help you to heal!" they sang in sweet chorus, oh what a grand feel!
Leo took the leaf, with hope in his eyes, he chewed it up slowly and sighed happy sighs. The magic worked quickly, a glow in his chest, he stood up so proud, feeling truly blessed.
The jungle erupted with joyful delight, as Leo roared loud under the moonlight. "Thank you, my friends! You saved my dear heart! You brought me back strength, you played a big part!"
They danced 'round in circles, in joy they did hum, for a lion's big heart now beat like a drum. The stars shone so bright, the night felt just right, all's well in the jungle, under the moonlight.
So remember, dear friends, when someone feels down, it’s the love of their friends that can turn it around. Be brave, be a helper, be kind and be true, just like Leo's friends who all loving knew!
And from that sweet day, the jungle learned well, that caring for others is magic to tell. So when you feel sick, don't worry or fret, just lean on your friends, it’s the best cure yet!
