The Lion Who Lost His Roar



Leo, the bravest lion in the savannah, woke up one day with an unexpected problem: his mighty roar had disappeared! He tried to roar at dawn, as he did every day, but nothing came out. Worried and confused, Leo decided to ask his friends in the savannah for help.
The giraffe, with her long neck, suggested: “Climb to the top of a tree. Maybe your voice will return with the wind from there.” Leo tried, but the best he could manage was a small grumble, nothing like his powerful roar.
The monkey, always playful, said: “I know a special remedy made from rare leaves. Let's try it!” He prepared the mixture, and Leo took it, but to his disappointment, his voice did not return.
Then the elephant, with his practical wisdom, suggested: “There is a magical lagoon to the north. They say it can cure any problem. Let's go!” Leo and his friends traveled to the lagoon, but even after drinking the clear water, his roar was still absent.
Disheartened, Leo sat under a large tree. It was then that the owl, the wisest in the savannah, descended from a branch and calmly said: “Maybe your roar just needs a rest. Meanwhile, why don't you discover what else you can do without it?” Intrigued, Leo decided to accept the challenge. He began to use gestures and expressions to communicate. Surprisingly, the other animals understood him perfectly and continued to follow him as their leader. Leo showed that his bravery did not depend on his voice but on his actions and care for his friends. Together, they faced challenges, solved problems, and explored new places.
One night, as Leo admired the stars with his friends, something magical happened. He felt a warmth in his chest, and when he opened his mouth, his powerful roar echoed across the savannah, stronger and more beautiful than ever. Everyone celebrated joyfully, but Leo knew he had learned something very important: being brave goes far beyond having a powerful voice. It is about knowing how to lead, help, and stand by those who need it.
Since that day, Leo continued to be the king of the savannah, not just for his roar but for his big heart.
