Leo the Lion sat under his favorite baobab tree, his mane glowing like the sun itself. Despite his majestic appearance, doubt clouded his eyes. "I feel scared sometimes, even though I'm supposed to be brave," he confided to Tilly the Tortoise, who listened attentively with kind eyes.

Tilly the Tortoise moved closer, her shell gleaming in the sunlight. "Courage isn't about never being afraid," she said softly. "It's about facing your fears. Let's find the courage together." She nudged him gently, her determination contagious.

Leo and Tilly set off on a playful adventure, weaving through tall ferns and over tangled roots. "What if we come across something scary?" Leo wondered aloud. "Then we'll face it together," Tilly replied with a reassuring smile.

Suddenly, they heard a rustling in the bushes. Leo froze, his heart racing. But Tilly, with her steady spirit, moved forward. "It's just the wind, or perhaps a curious friend," she said, showing no fear. Her calmness gave Leo the courage to step forward, his fears slowly dissipating.

Leo and Tilly reached the clearing, a place of peace and beauty. "I guess the jungle isn't so scary when you have a friend by your side," Leo mused, feeling the warmth of the sun and the strength within himself.

Tilly nodded, "Remember, Leo, the courage you seek is already inside you. You just need to let it roar," she said, as they made their way back home, both feeling braver and more confident than ever before.
