"Quote" the wise and ancient gorilla often said, “Encourage yourself with the notion that hope and courage will lead you to never feel small, and always embolden you to be great.”

It was a quote that inspired many, but it was the mantra of one particularly brave gorilla who would one day become a legend.

Deep in the jungles of the Congo, a baby gorilla was born. He was a small creature, but that would not stop him from growing up to be a great leader amongst his peers. The wise and elderly gorillas in the nearby regions would often tell stories about the young gorilla. They said that he had courage and determination that was far greater than any other creature in the jungle.

The young gorilla was determined to prove himself and become a great leader. He knew that he needed to have hope and courage to accomplish his goals and that those two traits were the key to his success.

The young gorilla was determined to take what he had heard and apply it to his life. He started his journey by exploring the world, learning from the animals that inhabited the jungle and gaining knowledge of the world around him.

As he explored further, he met a wise old elephant who took him on a special journey. This journey was to take him across the savannah, to the highest mountain, through the dense rainforest and to the depths of the sea.

Along the way, the young gorilla encountered many trials and tribulations. He faced fear and danger but he never lost hope and courage. He kept repeating the quote in his head and it pushed him forward.

He eventually reached the highest mountain and as he looked down on the world he realized that he had become a giant in the eyes of the jungle. He had overcome all the obstacles that had been put in his path and had emerged a leader amongst his peers.

With the newfound courage and hope, he returned to the jungle and became the leader of all the creatures in the area. He taught them the importance of never giving up and using courage and hope to never feel small and always embolden themselves to be great.

The young gorilla's story continues to be told amongst the creatures of the jungle as an inspiring tale of courage and hope. His words still echo in the minds of all who hear them: "Encourage yourself with the notion that hope and courage will lead you to never feel small, and always embolden you to be great."
