In the heart of the jungle, Mae meets Leo, a lion who feels alone and misunderstood. Leo has always been a bit grumpy and keeps to himself, but Mae sees past his tough exterior and offers him her friendship. Mae patiently listens to Leo’s story and learns that he’s been lonely because he doesn’t think anyone understands him.
 
Through kindness and empathy, Mae encourages Leo to open up and share his feelings, showing him that it's okay to ask for help. Together, they find ways to connect with the other animals in the jungle, teaching Leo that true friendship comes from being open and kind-hearted.
