Once upon a time, there was a Lion called Lellow who had four friends: Elle the elephant, Mo the monkey, Hopey the 

Hippopotamus, and Leah Grace; sometimes Leah likes to be 

called Princess.  

The five of them grew so big that their mother said to each of 

them, "You're too big to live in the tree house!"

 Meanwhile, news from the town suggests that a fire-breathing dragon is on the loose.

 "You must go and build your own house, they were told. But be 

careful of the fire-breathing dragon." said Lellow's mother. 

One week later, the five friends set off to find a place to live and 

build their own house. 

"We will tread with caution," The friends replied, their voices tinged with worry. 

    The friends walked along the road, and Mo the monkey met a donkey who was carrying some paper.

   "Please, will you give me some paper?" asked Mo. 

"I want to build a house for myself." 

"Okay," said the donkey, and he gave Mo some of his paper. 

 Mo built himself a house of paper. He was pleased with his 

house. 

 "Now the dragon won't catch me and kill me!" He said.

"I shall build a stronger house than yours," said Hopey the 

hippopotamus. 

     The next day, Hopey the Hippopotamus walked along the road.  Soon, he meets the same donkey carrying some leaves. 

"Please, will you give me some leaves?" asked Hopey. 

"I want to build a house for myself." 

"Okay," said the donkey, giving Hopey some of his leaves. 

Hopey built himself a house made of leaves.   It was stronger; 

than Mo's house of paper.  Hopey was pleased with his house.

"Now the dragon won't catch me and kill me!" He said.   

"I shall build a stronger house than yours," said Ellie the 

Elephant. 

   Ellie the elephant carried on walking along the road. Soon she 

meets the same donkey carrying some hay.   

"Could you spare some hay for me, please?" Ellie asked, her voice filled with hope and anticipation. 

"I want to build a house for myself."  

"Okay," said the donkey, and he gave Ellie some of his hay. 

Ellie built herself a house made of hay. It was more substantial than Mo's house of paper and more robust than Hopey's house of leaves. Ellie was pleased with her house. 

"Now the dragon won't catch me and kill me!" She said. 

"I'm going to build a house even stronger than yours, Ellie," Declared Leah Grace,  determined and ambitious.

   The next day, Leah Grace walked along the road. Soon, she met the same donkey carrying some wood. 

With a hint of hesitation, Leah mustered the courage to ask, "Please, would you be so kind as to give me some wood?"  "I want to build a house for myself."  

"Okay," said the donkey, giving Leah some of his wood. 

Leah built herself a house made of wood. It was stronger than 

Mo’s house of paper, Hopey's house of leaves and Ellie’s house 

of hay.  Leah was pleased with her house.  

"Now the dragon won't catch me and kill me!" She said. 

"I shall build a stronger house than yours." Said Lellow the Lion.

   The next day, Lellow, the Lion, walked along the road. Soon he 

meets the same donkey carrying some bricks. 

"Please, will you give me some bricks?" asked Lellow. 

"I want to build a house for myself." 

"Certainly," Replied the donkey, his voice filled with kindness. He handed over some of his bricks to Lellow, a gesture of generosity that would help the lion build his house. 

Lellow built himself a house with bricks. 

It took him a long time to build it, and it was a strong house 

Indeed, it is stronger than paper, leaves, hay, or wood. 

Lellow was pleased with his house. 

"Now, I am safe from the dragon's clutches!" Lellow exclaimed, his voice filled with relief and joy, as he realized the security his new house provided.
