    One day, while Leo was exploring, he spotted a bear named Benny, who seemed to be in trouble. Benny was trying to reach a beehive high up in a tree, but it was too tall for him.

    Without a second thought, Leo decided to help Benny. Using his agility, he climbed the tree and knocked down the beehive for Benny.

    One day, a group of monkeys started throwing coconuts at Benny. Leo saw this and rushed to Benny's rescue. He roared so loudly that the monkeys immediately scattered.
