    Once upon a dreamy night, in the lush green forest, lived a caring koala named Kevin. He was known throughout the forest for his kindness and readiness to help others.

    Kevin, our gentle koala, had a heart as big as the forest. He spent his days helping his friends, from sunrise to sunset, barely taking time for himself.

    One day, Kevin came across a young bunny, Bella, who had lost her way. Her eyes were full of fear, and she trembled like a leaf.

    Kevin took Bella under his wing, promising to guide her home. He put her needs above his own, even though he was feeling quite tired and hungry.

    As they journeyed through the forest, Kevin's strength began to wane. He grew so tired that he could barely keep his eyes open, yet he trudged on.

    Suddenly, Kevin stumbled and fell, much to Bella's surprise. She watched with wide eyes as Kevin lay motionless on the ground, too tired to move.

    Bella, though young, was smart. She remembered a lesson her mother had taught her about taking care of oneself first. She decided to help Kevin.

    Bella scampered off, returning shortly with fresh eucalyptus leaves for Kevin. She encouraged him to eat, reminding him that he needed to take care of himself too.

    Kevin, though weak, listened to Bella. He nibbled on the leaves, gradually regaining his strength. He realized Bella was right; he had been neglecting his own needs.

    From that day forward, Kevin made sure to take care of himself. He ate well, rested, and took time to enjoy the forest, all while continuing to help his friends.

    The forest creatures noticed the change in Kevin. They saw how he was more energetic, happier, and still just as helpful. They were inspired by his new approach to life.

    One by one, the animals started following Kevin's example. They began taking care of themselves, ensuring they were well-rested and nourished before helping others.

    The forest was soon filled with happy, healthy animals. They were all grateful to Kevin for teaching them the importance of self-care through his actions.

    Kevin the koala, once so weary, was now strong and joyful. He had learned a vital lesson, one that he would carry with him always - to take care of oneself before caring for others.
