On the savanna, wide and grand, Golden grass in a sun-kissed land. Acacia trees with reaching arms, Safe from danger, free from harms.

Leo the Lion, with mane so bright, Practiced his roar with all his might. A tiny squeak, a wobbly sound, Not quite the roar that shook the ground!

Miko the Monkey, in branches high, Heard Leo's attempt and almost cried With laughter, a chattering, giggling spree, "That's not a roar, that's a sneeze, you see!"

Pip the Bird, with feathers so blue, Perched on a thorn, chuckled too. "That little puff, that funny peep, Leo, dear, you're fast asleep!"

Leo blushed, his fur turned red, Embarrassed by the words they said. He closed his eyes, took a breath so deep, And thought of secrets he wanted to keep.

He thought of courage, strong and bold, Of stories whispered, never old. He thought of sunsets, painted bright, And filling the savanna with golden light.

Then, Leo roared! A booming sound, That echoed all the way around! The earth did tremble, the birds took flight, The savanna bathed in the lion's might!

Miko the Monkey, stopped his fun, Pip the Bird, knew Leo had won. For deep inside, he found the key, The Lion's Roar, for all to see!
