    In the heart of the African savannah, under the vast blue sky, a young lion named Leo lived. Unlike other lions, Leo had a peculiar dream - he wanted to fly.

    Every day, Leo would watch the birds with their colorful feathers gliding freely in the sky. He admired their grace and wished to experience the same freedom.

    One day, Leo shared his dream with his best friend, Nia, an elephant. Nia was surprised but promised to help Leo achieve his dream.

    Nia suggested that Leo should strengthen his leg muscles. So, every morning, Leo began to run around the savannah, building up his strength.

    Leo's efforts began to show results. His speed increased, and he could jump higher than before. However, flying still seemed impossible.

    Seeing Leo's disappointment, Nia introduced him to Kofi, the eagle. Kofi was known for his soaring flights and agreed to mentor Leo.

    Kofi taught Leo to climb trees and jump from high branches, mimicking the feeling of flying. It was a thrilling experience for Leo, yet he still couldn't fly.

    Despite the setbacks, Leo didn't lose hope. He continued his training with Nia and Kofi, believing that one day he would fly.

    One day, while Leo was chasing a butterfly, he slipped off a cliff. As he fell, he flailed his legs and something miraculous happened - he started gliding.
