    In the heart of the savannah, Leo, the lazy lion, was yawning under an acacia tree. He was the leader of the pride, but his lack of motivation often made the others worry.

    Lara, the lioness, always tried to motivate Leo. She would often say, 'Leo, you should take more responsibility for the pride. You are the king after all.'

    One afternoon, the savannah was unusually quiet. Lara sensed danger. She nudged Leo, 'Wake up Leo, I think there's something wrong.'

    Leo, still half-asleep, replied, 'Don't worry, Lara. It's probably just the heat.' And he went back to his nap.

    Suddenly, a group of hyenas emerged from the shadows. Seeing them, Lara growled, 'Leo, it's the hyenas! They're here to attack our cubs!'

    Upon hearing this, Leo woke up. He saw the hyenas approaching and realized he had to act.

    With a mighty roar, Leo charged towards the hyenas. The lazy lion, who loved his afternoon naps, was now ready to fight for his pride.

    Leo's roar echoed across the savannah. The hyenas, startled by his sudden burst of energy, backed away.

    The hyenas, seeing Leo's determination, retreated. Leo stood tall, his lazy demeanor replaced with a fierce aura of leadership.

    Lara looked at Leo with admiration. 'You were amazing, Leo. I knew you had it in you.'

    Leo smiled at Lara, 'You were right, Lara. I need to be more responsible for our pride.' And with that, the lazy lion began to change.

    From that day, Leo became a more attentive leader. Though he still enjoyed his naps, he was always ready to protect his pride. And the savannah was peaceful once again.
