Once upon a time, there was a lion who loved to eat fresh lettuce leaves from his lemon tree. One day, he saw a lime green limousine and wanted to write a letter to his friends about it. He climbed up the ladder to reach the lemon tree branches and picked up a few limes and leaves. As he tried to write the letters, he realized he didn't know how. So, he asked for help from his animal friends, but none of them knew how either. Just then, a kind bird offered to teach him how to read and write. The lion practiced every day and soon became very good at it. He wrote many letters to his friends and even wrote a story about the lime green limousine and the lemon tree. The end.
