The Adventure of Benny the Brave Bunny

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a little bunny named Benny. Benny was not just any bunny; he was known for his bravery and curiosity. One sunny morning, Benny decided to explore the mysterious part of the forest that he had never seen before.

As he hopped along, he met his friend, Lucy the wise owl. "Where are you going, Benny?" she asked, flapping her wings. "I’m off to find the hidden treasure of the forest!" Benny exclaimed with excitement.

"Be careful, Benny! The treasure is guarded by the grumpy old fox," warned Lucy. But Benny was determined. "I can be brave!" he said, puffing out his little chest.

After a long hop, Benny finally reached the old fox's den. "Who dares to enter my territory?" growled the fox. Benny took a deep breath and replied, "I’m Benny the Brave Bunny, and I’m here for the treasure!"

The fox was surprised by Benny's courage. Instead of being grumpy, he smiled and said, "If you can solve my riddle, the treasure is yours!" Benny nodded eagerly.

The fox asked, "What has keys but can't open locks?" Benny thought hard and then shouted, "A piano!" The fox laughed and said, "You are clever, little bunny! The treasure is yours!"
