Otis The Anxious Lion

Once upon a time in the lush, green jungle, there lived a lion named Otis. Otis was a kind-hearted lion, but he often felt anxious. One sunny morning, Otis went out to hunt like all the other lions. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch any animals. The other lions laughed and teased him, which made Otis feel embarrassed. He lowered his head and walked away from the group. Otis found a quiet spot under a big tree. He sat down and took a deep breath.

Otis's Embarrassing Day

Otis remembered a special trick he had learned to calm himself. It was a counting exercise that always helped him feel better. He closed his eyes and started counting slowly. 'One, two, three...' he whispered to himself. As he counted, he imagined each number as a bright star in the sky. The stars twinkled and danced, making Otis smile. By the time he reached ten, Otis felt a little more relaxed. He opened his eyes and took another deep breath.

The Counting Exercise

A small bird named Tilly perched on a branch next to Otis the lion. Otis has a slight smile on his face as he talks to Tilly.

As Otis sat under the tree, a small bird flew down beside him. 'Hello, I'm Tilly,' chirped the bird. Otis smiled at the friendly little bird. 'Hi, Tilly. I'm Otis,' he replied. Tilly noticed Otis looked sad and asked, 'Why are you sitting alone?' Otis shared his story about the hunting and how he felt embarrassed. Tilly listened carefully and said, 'It's okay, Otis. Everyone has tough days.' Hearing this made Otis feel a bit better.

A New Friend

Tilly had an idea to cheer Otis up. 'Why don't we play a game?' she suggested. Otis was curious and asked, 'What kind of game?' Tilly flapped her wings excitedly. 'Let's play a counting game with nature!' she exclaimed. Otis agreed and stood up, feeling a bit more cheerful. Tilly flew to a nearby bush and said, 'Count how many flowers you see.' Otis counted, 'One, two, three, four...' until he reached ten. They both laughed and enjoyed the game together.

Tilly's Advice

He found himself feeling happier with each new thing he counted. Tilly showed Otis how beautiful the jungle was when he paid attention. Otis realized there was so much to appreciate around him. The counting exercise helped him see the world in a new way. He felt grateful for his new friend, Tilly.

While exploring, Otis and Tilly met an old wise owl named Oliver. Oliver noticed Otis's bright smile and asked, 'What brings you such joy today?' Otis shared his story and the counting game.
