The world was cold and dark. For many days, the animals looked everywhere for the sun, but one by one, they gave up. Only the determined Lizard wouldn't give up.

She crawled up mountains and down valleys tirelessly, her small heart filled with hope and determination. One day, Lizard found a glowing rock and was convinced she'd found the sun.

With the glowing rock, Lizard hurried to the palace. She told the Emperor about her find. The Emperor, being a wise man, thought hard about how to wake up the sun.

The Emperor even sent a woodpecker to peck on the rock. But still, the sun would not wake up. So, the Emperor came up with another plan.

The Emperor announced, 'We shall hold a great festival to welcome the sun. There will be music, dancing, and wonderful food.' Everyone was excited about the festival.

All the animals and people took part in the festival. The sound of happiness filled the land. Everyone was hopeful that their joy would wake the sun.

And their hope was not in vain. The sun could not resist the joyous atmosphere and woke up. The world was warm and bright again, thanks to the persistent Lizard.

Since that day, all lizards love to lie in the sun, to remember when Lizard brought light and warmth back to the world. It was a tale of courage and determination that was remembered by all.
