Under a giant oak tree, King Leo rested on a throne of roots.

He saw Queen Maya approaching the tree, her gown flowing.

With gentle eyes, he greeted her, 'Good day, your grace.'

The queen smiled, 'And to you, King. Why sit you here alone?'

'I come here to think,' said King Leo, 'and to enjoy nature's peace.'

'Ah, I too seek solace in these woods,' the queen replied.

The king gestured beside him, 'Will you share a story with me?'

Queen Maya took a seat and began, 'Once, I was lost...'

King Leo listened as she spoke of distant lands and times.

'And through it all, I learned to be strong and just,' she ended.

'A remarkable journey,' King Leo praised, 'full of bravery and wisdom.'

They shared stories until stars glittered above the tall oak's leaves.
