Léonard est un lionceau timide qui préfère rester à l’abri dans sa tanière plutôt que d’explorer la jungle. Pourtant, il admire les récits des anciens lions courageux de sa tribu, comme son grand-père, qui a sauvé leur clan d’une attaque de hyènes. Chaque soir, il s’endort en rêvant qu’un jour, il sera aussi brave. Mais la peur de l’inconnu l’empêche de faire le premier pas. Une nuit, une tempête éclate, et un grand arbre menace de s’effondrer sur leur refuge. Tous les adultes sont occupés à protéger les plus jeunes. Léonard, tremblant, décide d’agir. Il se souvient des histoires de son grand-père et se dit qu’il doit au moins essayer. Accompagné de ses amis, la malicieuse souris Mila et l’oiseau curieux Paco, il part à la recherche de lianes solides pour stabiliser l’arbre. En chemin, ils traversent une forêt sombre et rencontrent des obstacles : un serpent endormi qu’ils doivent contourner sans bruit, un pont cassé au-dessus d’une rivière qu’ils doivent réparer avec des branches, et un vent glacial qui semble vouloir les repousser. À chaque étape, Mila et Paco hésitent, mais Léonard, bien que terrifié, trouve les mots pour les encourager à continuer. Ils rencontrent aussi d’autres animaux, comme un paresseux qui leur conseille de ne pas se presser et un singe farceur qui leur propose un raccourci risqué. Léonard prend le temps de réfléchir et choisit toujours la solution la plus sûre, prouvant que le courage n’est pas l’absence de peur, mais la capacité de prendre des décisions difficiles. Ils reviennent au refuge avec les lianes juste à temps. Grâce à leur courage et à leur coopération, ils sauvent la tanière. Léonard découvre qu’il n’est pas nécessaire d’être grand et fort pour être courageux : il suffit d’agir malgré ses peurs. La tribu le félicite, et son grand-père lui dit qu’il est fier de lui. Léonard se couche ce soir-là, la poitrine gonflée de fierté, prêt à affronter de nouvelles aventures.

Fran and Jim go to the beach. Fran’s parents and Jim’s parents are there. Fran, Jim and both of their parents are from the Turks and Caicos Islands. Fran takes off her slippers and feels the sand between her toes. Jim runs towards the sea; he couldn’t wait to get into the water. Before reaching the water, Jim pauses, looks around and shouts to Fran to go into the water with him. Fran starts to run towards Jim then stops before reaching the water. Jims asks “what’s wrong? Don’t you want to go swimming with me?”. Fran looked a little sad and said “I want to go swimming but I don’t know how. I am afraid.” Jim tells Fran, “don’t be afraid, I have something that can help you to learn how to swim. Come with me.” Jim then runs towards his parents and shouts to his mother, “mommy, can you please give me the arm floats?”. Jim’s mother took out the arm floats from her beach bag, and gave them to Jim. Jim gave one to Fran and said “here, blow that float up and I will blow this one up”. Fran and Jim each blew up one arm float. Then Jim said “Now slide these up your arms. I will help you. They will help you to float in the water.” After the floats were on her little upper arms, she held out her arms and started to walk towards the water with Jim. Jim went into the water up to his knees first. Jim then turned and reached out his hand to Fran and said “come in the water with me”. Fran held his hand and walked into the water with him. As Fran went further into the water, she then exclaimed to Jim “I can’t feel the bottom with my feet anymore!”. Jim then laughed and said, “that’s because you are floating”. Then Fran realized that the arm floats were helping her to float. She then laughed and shouted to her parents saying “Mommy, Daddy, I am floating!”. Her parents waved to her smiling and Jim’s parents were also smiling. Fran and Jim then had fun laughing and playing in the water together, while both of their parents looked on, smiling. Fran and Jim had the best beach day ever.

Noong unang panahon, sa isang malayong kaharian sa Sulu, may isang dalagang nagngangalang Alianapia. Siya ay hindi isang karaniwang prinsesa—sa halip na manatili sa loob ng palasyo, mas pinili niyang sanayin ang sarili sa paggamit ng kampilan at panangga. Kilala siya sa kanyang tapang at katalinuhan, kaya’t siya ang hinahangaan ng kanyang mga nasasakupan. Isang araw, dumating ang balita na isang makapangyarihang datu mula sa ibang pulo ang nagbabalak sakupin ang kanilang lupain. Si Datu Salangkapaw, isang malupit na pinuno, ay nagpadala ng babala: “Sumuko kayo at maging bahagi ng aking kaharian, o ihanda ninyo ang inyong sarili sa digmaan.” Sa halip na matakot, nagtipon si Alianapia ng mga mandirigma ng kanyang bayan. “Hindi natin ibibigay ang ating lupa sa sinuman!” aniya. Sa loob ng ilang linggo, masigasig nilang inihanda ang kanilang mga sandata at itinuro ni Alianapia ang matatalinong estratehiya upang talunin ang kaaway. Dumating ang araw ng labanan. Sa kabila ng dami ng hukbo ni Datu Salangkapaw, ginamit ni Alianapia ang kanyang talino at tapang upang mapabagsak ang kaaway. Sa gitna ng labanan, nagharap sila ng datu sa isang matinding duwelo. Sa isang mabilis na galaw, napabagsak ni Alianapia ang kalaban gamit ang kanyang kampilan. Sa pagkapanalo nila, hindi lamang nailigtas ni Alianapia ang kanyang kaharian—naging simbolo rin siya ng katapangan at pagmamahal sa sariling bayan. Simula noon, naging alamat ang kanyang pangalan, isang kwento ng kabayanihan na ipinapasa-pasa sa bawat henerasyon ng mga Tausug.
