Read the story Easy English
Leo was a quiet little boy who lived in a small and lovely village. He had bright eyes and a gentle smile. Leo liked to sit calmly under a tall tree and watch the world around him. While other children ran fast and played loudly, Leo stayed quiet and listened. Some children thought he was too quiet and strange. Leo felt a little lonely and wished he could be like them.
One afternoon, gray dark clouds covered the sky, and a strong storm came to the village. Heavy rain fell, and strong winds shook the trees. The frightened children cried loudly and ran in different directions. Leo stood still in the rain and listened carefully. Through the noisy storm, Leo heard a soft sad sound. He followed the sound and found a tiny kitten stuck near a broken fence. Leo picked up the kitten gently and wrapped it in his warm jacket.
Leo listened again and heard more soft voices calling in the storm. He guided the scared children step by step to a safe dry place until the storm passed. The children looked at Leo with surprise and thanked him for saving them. Leo smiled softly and felt warm and proud inside. He knew his quiet listening heart was a special gift that could help others.
