🦁 The Lion and the Brave Sheep 🐑. Written by Ismail khan

In a lush green valley surrounded by mighty mountains, lived a large pride of lions. They ruled the jungle with power and fear. All the animals were terrified of them—especially the sheep, who lived peacefully at the foot of the hills.

Among the sheep was one young lamb named Noor. Unlike the others, Noor was curious. He often asked questions like:
"Why do we always run?"
"Why do we live in fear every day?"
"Can’t we talk to the lion?"

The other sheep laughed.
"You're just a sheep! Lions don’t talk—they eat!"

But Noor didn’t believe that everything had to be ruled by fear.

One day, a great drought struck the valley. Water became scarce. The river that once flowed between the hills dried up. The lions grew angry and restless, searching for water and food.

One lion came down from the hills and roared across the valley, scaring all the sheep. All ran—but Noor stood still.

The lion approached Noor, puzzled.
"Aren’t you afraid, little one?"

Noor looked up, trembling but brave, and said,
"Yes, I am afraid. But I believe fear should not stop me from trying to speak with you. We are all suffering. The land is dry, and there is no water. Instead of hunting us, maybe we can find a solution together?"

The lion blinked in surprise. No sheep had ever spoken like this. No animal had ever dared.

The lion growled, but then paused. “Go on,” he said.

Noor continued, "We sheep know hidden springs in the valley, places you lions don’t go. If we work together, we can all survive."

The lion thought deeply and finally agreed

That day, Noor led the lions to secret water sources. The lions, in return, protected the sheep from wolves and other threats. For the first time in the jungle's history, lion and sheep lived in harmony—not because the lion became weak, but because the sheep became wise and brave. Moral of the Story:

Sometimes, the smallest voice can create the biggest change. True courage is not about fighting with strength, but speaking with heart, even when you're afraid.Noor continued, "We sheep know hidden springs in the valley, places you lions don’t go. If we work together, we can all survive."
