The Day the Lion Was Sick

In the heart of a jungle, a lion lay still. His great golden mane, once fluffy, was ill. He coughed and he sneezed, oh what a fright! The jungle grew quiet, it was not a good sight.

The elephant trumpeted, loud and so clear, "I’ll bring him some fruit, let’s all have no fear!" The monkey swung high, from tree to tree, "I’ll fetch the sweet berries, just wait and see!"

With teamwork and friendship, they set off at once, to gather their gifts, they’d all take their chance. They worked with such courage, and laughter was seen, for helping their friend made them feel like a team.

“Oh lion, dear lion, please eat up this food! It will help with your cough, and improve your mood. We all want you healthy, so strong and so bright, our days aren’t the same when you’re not feeling right.”

“Thank you, dear friends! Your love means the most. I’ll bounce back to health and I promise to boast! That teamwork is magic, it helps us each day, let’s cherish our friendship in every way!”
