In a magical forest, the animals spoke in a special way. Hooty Owl was as wise as an old man. Leo Lion was as brave as a warrior, and Tiny Mouse was as quiet as a secret whisper. One day, Hooty said, 'I am as tired as a bear in winter.' Leo roared, 'I'm as hungry as a wolf,' and Tiny squeaked, 'I'm as small as a pebble.' They were using figurative language! When animals in the magical forest used phrases like 'as quiet as a mouse' or 'as brave as a lion,' they were making comparisons. This is called figurative language, which makes talking and writing more fun!
