Rosie the Rose

In a sunny garden, there lived a little rose named Rosie. Rosie was beautiful, but she had a thorny problem! Her thorns were sharp and prickly, making it hard for her friends to come close.

One day, a brave little bee named Benny buzzed by. “Why are you so thorny, Rosie?” he asked.

Rosie sighed, “I want to protect myself, but I also want friends!” Benny thought for a moment and said, “Your thorns can help you, but they don’t have to keep others away!”

From that day on, Rosie learned to share her beauty and kindness, and her garden bloomed with friendship!
