Story
Once upon a time, in a peaceful garden, there lived a little bunny named Flopsy. Flopsy loved to jump around and explore new things. One night, he noticed a bright, glowing moon in the sky. “I wonder what it’s like up there,” Flopsy thought to himself. As he hopped closer to the garden’s edge, he met a wise owl named Luna. Luna was sitting quietly on a branch.
The moonlit garden
Flopsy looked up at Luna and asked, “Do you know about the moon?” Luna spread her wings and replied, “Oh yes, the moon is full of magic and stories.” Flopsy’s eyes sparkled with wonder. “Can you take me there?” he asked. Luna chuckled softly, “I can show you the moon’s magic from right here in the garden.”
Magic under the stars
As they talked, Luna showed Flopsy how the moon made the flowers glow and how the stars twinkled like little diamonds. Flopsy hopped around, feeling the cool night air and seeing the world in a whole new light. “The moon is amazing!” Flopsy exclaimed, his heart full of joy. Luna smiled, “Yes, and it’s always here when you need a little magic.”
The end.
