🦁 “The Lion and the Firefly” – Original Bedtime Story
It was a dark night in the deep forest. The sky was covered with clouds, and the whole jungle was silent. Most of the animals were asleep, but the lion, the king of the jungle, was wide awake.
He was brave and strong, yet that night he felt lonely.
Suddenly, a tiny firefly flew near him. Its little light flickered in the darkness.
The lion laughed and said,
“Little firefly, what can your small light do? Look around—this forest is full of darkness!”
The firefly calmly replied,
“My light may be small, but it can still brighten the space around me. If every creature shines in its own way, the forest will never be truly dark.”
The lion thought deeply about these words. The next morning, he gathered all the animals and said:
“We all have something valuable inside us. Just as the firefly shines in darkness, each of us can use our strengths to help one another. Together, we can make our jungle a brighter and better place.”
From that day, no one in the jungle was considered too small or too weak. The lion learned that true strength is not only in muscles, but also in the little lights of kind hearts.
