Once upon a time there was a boy named Pedro. Pedro was a happy, very intelligent child, but he had a great fear: sleeping alone. He felt insecure and when night came and the room got dark, terror took over his little heart.

Every day, feeling that tightness in his chest, Pedro ran to his parents' room when it was time to sleep. He begged to sleep with them, saying he was afraid of sleeping alone.

Pedro's parents, Maria and João, always tried to reassure him. They said there was nothing to fear, but Peter was still afraid.

One night, Pedro decided he didn't want to be afraid anymore. He wanted to be brave and sleep alone.

Pedro began to think of a way to feel safe. He tried several things, like leaving the light on or having a favorite toy nearby.

Despite his attempts, Pedro still felt afraid. He realized he needed something more, something that could actually help him feel safe.

One day, while at school, Pedro saw a book about brave animals in the library. He decided to take it home and read it.

In the book, Pedro read about a brave lion who was never afraid of anything. The lion always faced his fears and never ran away from them.

Pedro was inspired by the lion. He decided he wanted to be like the lion and face his fear of sleeping alone.

He asked his mother to buy him a lion toy. He felt that if he had a lion with him, he could be as brave as the lion in the book.

Maria bought Pedro a lion toy. He was soft and cuddly, with a big mane and bright eyes. Pedro called him Leo.

Pedro took Leo to bed every night. He felt safer with Leo by his side. Little by little, his fear of sleeping alone began to lessen.

On nights when Pedro felt scared, he hugged Leo tightly. He remembered the brave lion in the book and told himself that he was brave too.

Pedro also started talking to Leo about his fears. He felt that Leo understood and supported him. This helped him feel even safer.

Pedro's parents noticed the change in him. They were proud of Peter for facing his fear. They saw that he was growing up and becoming more confident.

As time went by, Pedro no longer needed Leo to sleep. He learned to feel safe alone. However, Leo always had a special place next to Pedro.

Pedro overcame his fear of sleeping alone. He became a brave boy who was not afraid of the night. He was happy to have found a way to feel safe.

Pedro learned that facing his fears is the best way to overcome them. He also learned that it's normal to feel fear and that everyone has their own way of dealing with it.

Today, Pedro is a brave boy who is not afraid of sleeping alone. He grew up and learned to face his fears. And he will always have Leo, his brave lion, by his side.

Pedro is now an example to his friends. He tells them about Leo and how he helped him overcome his fear. He encourages his friends to face their own fears.

Pedro also thanks his parents for always supporting him. He knows that with their love and support, he can face any fear.
