Leo Lion and Donny Donkey's Dazzling Day

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, there lived a lion named Leo and a donkey named Donny. Leo had a mane that shimmered like the morning sun, and Donny had a tail that swung like a feather duster.

Every morning, Leo would roar, ‘ROAR-OO-OOOM!’ It was so loud it echoed through the trees, waking every critter in the forest. Donny would bray, ‘HEE-HAW!’ in reply, and together they made the birds flutter and the rabbits hop.
