Once upon a time, there was a lemur named Lester. He was very lively and always full of energy. He was a mischievous little lemur who loved to explore.

One day, Lester decided to go on a grand adventure. He hopped from tree to tree and explored the jungle. Whenever he came across something new, he would try to figure out what it was.

Lester met a friendly elephant named Elmer. Elmer was very curious and wanted to know all about Lester. They soon became good friends and went on adventures together.

Lester and Elmer explored the river and the mountains. They played with the monkeys, and Lester even rode on Elmer’s back.

At the end of the day, Lester and Elmer were both exhausted. They curled up next to each other and fell asleep until morning.

Lester and Elmer became very close friends and went on many more adventures together. Every day was an adventure for Lester, the lively lemur.
