The Lion's Share

Prince Leo discovers a new treasure -- books When Prince Leo a lion is born with wings on his back his father bellows "Our son will go far!" Its not long before that declaration takes on a literal meaning. The day arrives when Leo flaps his wings and learns that flying is simple - but stopping is another story. Exhausted and far from home he eventually crash-lands and is found by King Otto of the North a bear who cares for Leo while he recovers. The best medicine of all turns out to be the books that are read to him - Leos kingdom doesnt have books. When hes finally ready to return home - after taking flying and reading lessons - Leo will be bringing a wonderful treasure back with him.
