The Flying Lion and the Bullfrog

Unlike ordinary lions, Fleo possessed enormous leathery wings that allowed him to soar above the savannah like a giant beast of prey. From the clouds, he hunted antelopes, zebras, buffalo, and every creature that crossed his path. The animals feared him more than any other predator, for there was nowhere to hide from a lion that could fly. But hidden deep inside a dark mountain cave lay the secret of Lion's incredible power—a glowing pile of magical bones guarded day and night by two mysterious white crows. As long as the bones remained safe, Lion's wings would never fail. One sunny day, while Lion hunted far across the skies, a clever and mischievous visitor arrived at the cave. It was Brother Bullfrog, the small but fearless trickster of the wetlands. With quick thinking and playful words, Bullfrog convinces the white crows to leave their post for just a short while. The moment they disappear into the sky, he sneaks into the cave and smashes the magical bones one by one. When Lion returns and discovers what has happened, his mighty wings suddenly become useless. Furious and humiliated, he storms across the land searching for the tiny frog who dared challenge him. But Brother Bullfrog is waiting beside the lake, calm and confident, ready for the greatest chase the savannah has ever seen.
