Once upon a time, in a dense forest, there lived a poor man and a kind-hearted lion. They shared a large cage.

The poor man was scared of the lion, but the lion assured him, 'I won't harm you. Let's be friends and help each other.'

Every day, the lion hunted for food, and the man made a shelter for them. They lived in harmony, respecting each other's space.

One day, the poor man fell sick. The lion roared for help, and the animals of the forest came to assist. They healed the man.

After the man recovered, he and the lion continued to live together, grateful for the friendships they had formed.
