Leo had always looked up to his older brother, Alex. They got along well, but Leo often felt like Alex looked down on him. One day, Alex broke up with his girlfriend and came down with a terrible cold. Leo decided to look out for his brother, helping him with his chores and bringing him soup.

As they spent more time together, Leo realized that Alex was struggling to get back into his routine. He was running out of motivation and seemed to be giving up on his goals. Leo knew he had to do something. He suggested they play around with some new hobbies, like painting or hiking. Alex was hesitant at first, but he eventually agreed.

As they spent more time outdoors, Alex started to feel better. He began to grow out of his funk and get back into his old self. Leo was proud of his brother and happy to see him smiling again.

One day, as they were hiking, they came up against a steep cliff. Alex hesitated, but Leo encouraged him to keep going. "We can do this," Leo said. "Don't give up."

Alex took a deep breath and started climbing. He was struggling, but Leo was there to support him. Finally, they reached the top, and Alex felt a sense of accomplishment.

From that day on, Alex started to look forward to their adventures. He was grateful for Leo's support and realized that he shouldn't let setbacks get him down. They continued to explore new hobbies and spend time together, strengthening their bond.
