One sunny morning, as Floppy was hopping, he met a playful squirrel named Nutty. Nutty was collecting acorns and twirling them around like little dancers.
The Magical Friendship Begins
“Hello, Nutty!” said Floppy, his big ears twitching with excitement. “Would you like to play with me?” Nutty grinned, his bushy tail swaying. “Yes, let’s play hide and seek!” he chirped. They ran and laughed, hiding behind the colorful flowers and tall grass.
A Kind Gesture
As they played, Floppy noticed that Nutty had dropped an acorn. “Oh no, Nutty, you dropped this!” Floppy called, picking up the acorn. Nutty clapped his tiny paws. “Thank you, Floppy! You’re a great friend!” Floppy felt happy, his heart warm with Nutty’s words.
The Rainbow Sky
Suddenly, a gentle rain began to fall. Floppy and Nutty watched as a beautiful rainbow appeared in the sky. “Look at all the colors!” Floppy exclaimed. “It’s like magic!” Nutty nodded, “Yes, let’s dance under the rainbow!” And so, they danced and twirled, their friendship shining as brightly as the rainbow above.
The end.
