Migration The

Once upon a time, deep in the African savannah, there was a great migration of animals that happened every year. They would travel hundreds of miles to find food and water, and to mate and raise their young.

One year, a little lion cub named Leo was curious about the migration and decided to ask his mother, Queenie, about it.

“Mom, why do all the animals travel so far every year?” Leo asked.

“Well, my dear,” Queenie replied, “they’re looking for food and water. The grass and rivers dry up in some places during the year, so they have to move to find better grazing lands and watering holes.”

Leo was fascinated by the idea and asked, “Can we go watch the animals migrate?”

“Of course, we can,” Queenie said with a smile. “It’s a long journey, but it’s worth it to see the animals in their natural habitat.”

So, Leo and Queenie set out on their journey to watch the animals migrate. As they traveled, they met all kinds of animals, including zebras, wildebeests, and elephants.

“Hi there, little lion,” a friendly zebra named Zara said. “Are you going on the migration too?”

“Yes, I am,” Leo replied. “I want to see all the animals and learn more about them.”

As they walked, they heard the elephants talking about the best watering holes to visit and the wildebeests discussing which way to go to avoid predators. The animals were all working together to make sure everyone was safe and had enough food and water.

One night, they all gathered around a campfire and shared stories about their journeys. “I’ve been on this migration for over 10 years,” an old wildebeest named Willie said. “And every year, it’s a different adventure.”

As the journey continued, Leo was amazed by the sheer number of animals he saw. “Wow, Mom, there are so many animals here!” he exclaimed.

“Yes, and they’re all working together to survive,” Queenie said.

Finally, they reached the end of the migration, where they saw all the animals grazing together peacefully. Leo realized that even though they were all different, they had come together to make sure everyone had enough to eat and drink.

“Mom, this has been the best adventure ever!” Leo said with a smile.

“I’m glad you enjoyed it, my dear,” Queenie replied. “Now let’s get some rest before we head back home.”
