Once upon a time, in a quiet garden, there lived a fluffy bunny named Benny. Benny loved to hop around and explore the garden. One sunny afternoon, he met a curious squirrel named Squeaky. Squeaky was always looking for new adventures. Together, they decided to explore the garden under the starry night sky.
The garden at night
As the sun set and the night sky appeared, Benny and Squeaky hopped and scurried to the garden’s edge. They looked up and saw the twinkling stars. “Look at all the stars!” Squeaky squeaked with joy. Benny nodded, his eyes wide with wonder.
A magical discovery
Suddenly, they noticed a soft glow coming from the other side of the garden. Curious, they hopped closer and found a patch of glowing flowers. “They’re so pretty!” Benny exclaimed. “I think they’re magic,” said Squeaky, with a sparkle in his eye.
Friendship under the stars
Sitting together, Benny and Squeaky shared stories and dreams under the starlit sky. They realized that they had found something more special than the glowing flowers—they had found friendship. “I’m glad we explored together,” Benny said. “Me too,” Squeaky replied, smiling.
The end.
