Sammy had a special talent - he could magically transform into different shapes, which fascinated Leo greatly.

Impressed by Sammy's unique ability, Leo approached him and said, "Dear Sammy, your shape-shifting abilities are remarkable! I would love to learn more about shapes, but I don't understand them very well. Can you help me, dear friend?" Sammy, thrilled to help his new friend Leo, joyfully agreed. "Of course, Lion King! Let's embark on a grand adventure together, exploring the wonders of shapes," he exclaimed.

As they set off, their first encounter was with Eddy the elephant. Eddy had a stout and sturdy body, representing the shape of a rectangle. He taught Leo and Sammy about the four right angles and four straight sides. Next, they met Sophia the turtle, who had a solid shell resembling the shape of a circle. She gracefully glided along, teaching them about the perfectly round shape of a circle, which had no corners or edges.

Continuing their journey, they came across Oliver the owl with his triangular-shaped beak. Oliver taught Leo and Sammy about triangles, explaining how they had three sides and three angles, which could be equal or different. As they ventured deeper into the jungle, they encountered mighty Max the monkey, whose fluffy tail curled into the shape of a spiral. Max demonstrated how spirals could be seen in nature, like in seashells and some plants' growing patterns.
