In a sunlit glade, where the tall grass swayed, lived Leo the Lion, with a golden mane displayed. Today he felt weak, his tummy did ache, he lay on a rock, oh what a mistake!
âOh dear,â said Leo, âIâm not feeling bright, my roarâs gone quiet, and my paws feel light. Iâll need to find help, but who could it be? Maybe a friend could come rescue me!â
Just then, a ladybug flew with a hum, her name was Lila, she was tiny and fun. With spots on her back, and a smile so wide, she zipped through the air with magical glide.
âWhatâs wrong, dear Leo?â Lila asked with care. âYou look like youâve lost your bold, royal flair!â Leo sighed gently, then told her his plight, âI feel rather sick, and it just isnât right.â
âDonât worry, dear friend, I know what to do! Iâll make you a drink, it will help you pull through. With lemons so sour and leaves fresh and green, Iâll stir up a potion, the best youâve ever seen!â
Lila zipped off to gather her treats, and soon she returned with her colorful sweets. She squeezed the lemons, and crushed the leaves, mixing them slowly, just like a breeze.
With a splash and a swirl, the juice was complete! She poured it in a cup and said, âNow take a seat. Just drink this up, and youâll feel brand new, the magic of nature is waiting for you!â
Leo took a sip, and oh what a taste! The sour was lovely, not a drop went to waste. He felt his strength returning, his roar began to grow, and soon he was leaping with a grand, joyful show!
âThank you, dear Lila! Youâve saved the day! With your lemony mix, Iâm back in the play! Friends like you, oh, theyâre hard to find, a ladybugâs heart is truly one of a kind.â
So in the bright glade, where friendship does bloom, Leo the Lion and Lila spelled room for joy. Together they laughed under the wide, blue sky, a lion and a ladybug, soaring up high.
