The Tiny Tiger with a Big Heart

Once upon a time, there was a tiger named Tilly. Tilly was known as the biggest and bravest tiger in her jungle. All the animals respected her and looked up to her for protection. Tilly was a gentle giant and had a heart bigger than her paws. One day, Tilly woke up feeling strange. She looked down at her paws and realized that they were tiny! She was the size of a mouse! Tilly tried to roar, but instead she squeaked like a mouse. She was scared, confused and didn't know what to do. As she looked up, she saw a group of mice giggling and whispering about her. Tilly felt embarrassed and ashamed. She thought she had lost her respect and honor. But just then, a little mouse spoke up, "Don't worry, Tilly. We might be small, but we can be mighty too. Our size doesn't matter. It's our heart that counts." Tilly was taken aback by the mouse's words. She looked around and saw that the mice were fearless and confident. They showed her that size doesn't always matter. Tilly realized that her strength came from her heart and not her size. So, Tilly decided to help her new mouse friends. They may be small, but Tilly knew that they had a big heart. Together, they ventured through the jungle, finding food and defending themselves against predators. Tilly and the mice became the best of friends. But one day, Tilly woke up to find that she had grown back to her size. She looked down at her paws and felt happy to be back to normal. However, she realized that she didn't need to be big to feel important. She knew that it was what was inside that truly mattered. From that day on, Tilly became even more respected and loved by all the animals in the jungle. She never forgot the lesson she learned from her little mouse friends. She knew that size doesn't matter when you have a big heart, and that was all that mattered.
