The Little Bunny and the Big Rain Cloud

Story Illustration

Once upon a time, in a cozy little burrow nestled under a big oak tree, there lived a little bunny named Benny. Benny loved hopping through the meadow and nibbling on juicy carrots. One cloudy morning, a big rain cloud appeared in the sky, and drops of rain started falling.

Benny peered outside and saw the rain hitting the ground. It made him feel sad. His mommy bunny noticed and hopped over to him.

"What's wrong, Benny?" she asked, cuddling him close.

"I want to play outside, but the rain makes me sad," Benny said with a pout.

"It's okay to feel sad," his mommy said, wiping away a little tear. "Sometimes we can't do the things we want, but we can find other fun things to do." She then showed Benny how to make a cozy blanket fort inside their burrow.

As Benny and his mommy snuggled in their fort, the rain outside sounded like soothing music. Benny's sadness slowly melted away, and he felt warm and happy inside.
