Leo, a small boy with bright, curious eyes and a mop of brown hair, wandered away from his family during a picnic. He was wearing a bright red shirt and blue shorts. Suddenly, he found himself alone, deep within a lush, green jungle. The air was thick and humid, the sunlight dappled through the leaves. Fear gripped him. He was lost!
He stumbled through the undergrowth, his small legs struggling to keep pace. A massive tiger, striped like a living rainbow, appeared from behind a giant tree. Leo froze, his heart pounding like a drum. He slowly backed away, avoiding any sudden movements. The tiger watched him, then with a flick of its tail, disappeared into the bushes.
Next, a slithering green snake, its scales shimmering, blocked his path. Leo screamed, jumping back. He carefully circled around it, keeping his distance. He was becoming braver with each challenge.
Exhausted and scared, Leo sat on a mossy rock. Just then, a brightly colored parrot landed on a branch above him. "Lost, little one?" it squawked.
"Yes," Leo sobbed. "I can't find my way home!"
A playful monkey swung down from a vine. "We can help!" he chirped. The parrot and monkey led Leo along a winding path, pointing out landmarks. They were great friends.
Suddenly, a huge lion roared, leaping from the shadows! It looked very angry and hungry. Leo cried out, but before the lion could reach him, a massive elephant trumpeted, charging towards the lion. The lion fled.
The elephant, gentle and kind, helped Leo climb onto its back. It carefully carried Leo through the jungle, past familiar landmarks. He saw the picnic area in the distance! Then he found his very relieved Mom and Dad.
Leo hugged them tightly, tears of joy streaming down his face. He learned about the jungle, about courage, and most importantly, about the kindness of strangers, (even a parrot, monkey, and elephant!).
