In the heart of the wild, where friendships are spun There lived a brave lion, named Leo, the fun! He roared with great might, his golden mane gleaming, But inside, he longed for some friends worth dreaming. One day, Leo set out on a quest so grand, To the depths of the jungle, he marched through the land. With a smile on his face and a heart full of cheer, He sought out creatures, far and near.

His paws carried him through paths unknown, As he met with a chatty bird, on a branch she had flown. "Hello, dear friend, with feathers so bright! Will you be my companion, and share the daylight?" The bird chirped and twirled, singing a merry tune, "Of course, dear Leo! Let's fly to the moon!" They laughed and they soared, together they flew, Embracing their friendship, both faithful and true.

Next, Leo stumbled upon a wise old tree, With branches so sturdy and leaves dancing free. "Dear tree," said the lion, his voice gentle and warm, "Will you be a friend, to weather any storm?" The tree creaked and swayed, with a reassuring grace, "Of course, dear Leo! Let's find a peaceful place!" They sat by the shade, beneath the sun's gentle ray, Exchanging their stories throughout the long day.

Then Leo heard a rustle, from the bushes nearby, Out emerged a playful monkey, ready to fly. "Dear monkey," the lion called out with delight, "Will you be my buddy, both daytime and night?" The monkey jumped and swung, full of energy and chatter, "Of course, dear Leo! Let's make memories that matter!" They swung through the trees, with laughter in the air, In their joyful friendship, they were the perfect pair.

With each step Leo took, he found friendship anew, From a slithering snake to a butterfly of vibrant hue. In the jungle, together, they played and they learned, Their bond growing stronger, with love brightly earned. So remember, dear children, in this rhyme's sweet embrace, Friendship's a treasure, in every single place. Just like the lion who sought friends in the wild, Find your own companions, with whom you can truly smile.
