Benny the Bashful Bunny

In a cozy little town, there lived a bashful bunny named Benny. Benny loved to hop and play, but whenever he met new friends, he would hide behind a bush, his ears flopping shyly.

One sunny day, Benny saw a group of cheerful animals playing tag. He wanted to join but felt too bashful.

Then, he took a deep breath and thought, “What if they want to be my friends?” With a little hop, he joined in! To his surprise, everyone welcomed him with open paws.

Benny learned that sometimes, being brave can lead to wonderful new friendships! 🌼🐰
