Once upon a time there was a big, strong lion who liked to dress up.

One day he told his mom he wanted to dress up for something he had never seen before.

His mother told him:

“Go hang out a bit you may have outside inspiration.”

The lion came out.

The lion met his friend Mickey the mouse.

“Hey Mickey.” Lion said.

“Oh, hey Lion, how can I help you?” Mickey said.

“I’m looking for an idea to my costume, maybe you can help me?” The Lion said.

Mickey answerd:

“Maybe you should dress up as someone with a loooooong tail. Your costume must have a long tail.”

“Thanks, Mickey” Lion said

And the lion continued his way.

He then met the elephant Sam.

“Hey Sam” the Lion said, “I want to dress up for something special, do you have an idea what can I dress up?”

Sam replied to the lion:

“Um you can dress up as someone with really big ears, yes yes your costume must have big ears.”

And so, the Lion kept asking the forest animals what he could dress up until he had a real idea.

The lion met the giraffe Ted on the way.

Lion said to him: “Hey Ted, I’m going to dress up for something really cool and I need an idea for one more little thing, maybe you’ll help me?”

Ted replied: “No problem lion, what do you want to dress up?”

“I have no idea yet Ted. I thought you would help me.” Said Lion.

Ted thought for a moment and said to the lion: “No matter what you dress up, in your costume there must have really big eyes.”

And so, the lion walked thoughtfully, until he finally made a decision.

He took a long rope to make a tail out of it.

He took a very large cardboard to make big ears out of it.

Finally he took two tennis balls to make big eyes.

Finally he went to his mother and showed her the costume.

His mother was very happy and said:

“Grate work darling, now you have a great costume for Purim.”
