Bunny lives by the soft pond. Bunny likes flowers and quiet songs. One day Bunny feels small. Bunny wants to hop far but feels unsure. Turtle is slow and kind. Turtle sees Bunny's small face. Turtle sits close and listens. "I believe in you," Turtle says in a warm voice. Little Bird flutters down. Little Bird sings a soft tune. Bird offers a tiny wing for courage. "We can try together," Bird chirps. Bunny breathes in. Bunny breathes out. Turtle walks beside. Bird sings a steady song. Bunny takes a small hop. The hop is happy and wobbly. Friends smile. Turtle claps a slow clap. Bird flutters in a bright circle. Bunny tries another hop. Each hop grows a little stronger. When Bunny stumbles, Turtle helps gently. When Bunny feels any worry, Bird sings hope. They all share snacks and quiet hugs. They share feelings too. Bunny learns that it is okay to try slowly. Bunny feels a warm glow of confidence. Turtle feels proud for helping. Bird feels glad to cheer. They sit by the pond as the sun goes low. They hold hands and wings and paws. They whisper, "We are friends." They rest, safe and happy.
