Story
Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow, there was a little bunny named Thumper. Thumper loved hopping around and exploring new places. One day, he discovered a path he had never seen before. With a twitch of his nose and a skip in his step, he decided to follow it.
The Magical Garden
The path led Thumper to a magical garden filled with flowers that seemed to giggle and sway. “Hello, little bunny!” called a flower named Poppy, her petals shimmering in the sunlight. “Welcome to our garden!”
The Butterfly’s Tale
As Thumper admired the garden, a butterfly named Flitter fluttered down. “Would you like to hear a story, Thumper?” she asked. Thumper nodded eagerly, his eyes wide with excitement. Flitter began a tale of brave bunnies and magical moonbeams, captivating Thumper completely.
A Giggle and a Promise
When the story ended, Thumper gave a little hop of joy. “Thank you, Flitter,” he said. “I promise to visit again and bring my friends!” The flowers giggled, and Poppy waved her petals in farewell. Thumper hopped back home, his heart full of happiness and new adventures to share.
The end.
