Once upon a time, in the Indian jungle there lived a mane-y lioness who volunteered at a school. One day, she was surprised to find a female ferret and a male rhinoceros trying to catch a tortoise for lunch. The lioness scolded the two for hunting and taught them the importance of being friends with all creatures in the jungle.

As they were walking back to school, they spotted a beautiful flamingo with a magnificent mane. The three new friends were amazed by the flamingo's grace and offered to help her find food. In return, the flamingo treated them to a dance performance that left them in stitches.

From then on, the lioness, the ferret and the rhinoceros became the best of friends, and went on many adventures together, always helping and protecting each other, just like a family. And they lived happily ever after.
