Ans:  Sheru, a little lion cub, accidentally strayed into a village. That was one month ago. Lost and frightened, Sheru found refuge in the outskirts of the village, where he was discovered by Maya, a kind-hearted young girl.
"Look, Mommy! A lion cub!" Maya exclaimed, tugging at her mother's sleeve.
Her mother gasped in surprise but quickly composed herself. "We need to help him, Maya. He looks scared."
Together, they approached Sheru cautiously, offering him food and water. At first, Sheru was hesitant, but Maya's gentle voice and reassuring smile soon won him over.
Over the following weeks, Maya visited Sheru every day, bringing him food and spending time with him. Sheru grew fond of Maya, and she became his closest friend.
However, as days turned into weeks, rumors spread across the village about a lion cub living nearby. Fearful for their safety, the villagers demanded that Sheru be captured and removed from the area.
Determined to protect her newfound friend, Maya pleaded with the villagers to spare Sheru's life. "He's not dangerous," she argued. "He's just lost and scared, like we would be if we were in his place."
Moved by Maya's words, the villagers agreed to give Sheru a chance to prove himself. Under Maya's guidance, Sheru began to venture into the forest, away from the village, where he could live safely in his natural habitat.
With Maya's help, Sheru found his way back to the wilderness, but he would never forget the kindness shown to him by the villagers, especially Maya. And Maya, in turn, learned a valuable lesson about empathy and compassion.
Years later, the villagers would tell stories of the lion cub who once strayed into their village, but thanks to the friendship of a brave young girl, found his way home. And Maya would always cherish the memory of the little lion cub who touched her heart and taught her the true meaning of friendship.
