Read the story Easy English

In a large and lovely land lived a little lion named Leo. Leo had a long golden mane that glowed brightly in the sun. His mane looked like a shining lamp, bigger than any other lion's mane. Some lions laughed and said his light was too bright. Leo felt lonely and sad, so he lay low in the tall grass to hide his mane. He wished he could help others feel safe.

One late evening, dark clouds covered the sky, and a loud storm rolled in with lightning and long shadows. The land became dim and quiet, and the little animals became scared. They lost their way in the dark and could not find their homes. Even the lions felt unsure because the land was too dark. Leo slowly lifted his head and let his long mane glow softly. He gently told the animals to follow him.

Leo walked slowly and led the animals with care through the dark land. His glowing mane showed the safe paths home and led the little ones away from danger. Soon, the storm left, and the sky turned light again. The animals thanked Leo and said his glowing mane helped them stay safe. Leo felt happy and proud. From that day on, Leo walked with confidence and shared his light with everyone.
