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. With a deep breath, he called out, "Mr. Fox, I’m here to find the treasure!" The fox, surprised by the little bunny's courage, decided to test him.

"If you can answer my riddle, the treasure is yours," said the fox. Benny nodded eagerly. "What has keys but can’t open locks?" asked the fox. Benny thought hard and then shouted, "A piano!"

The fox chuckled, impressed by Benny's cleverness. "You are indeed brave and smart! The treasure is yours!" he said, revealing a chest filled with shiny carrots and delicious treats.
