It was a sunny morning in the forest when Benny the bear cub woke up with a big yawn. He loved to explore the woods!

Benny grabbed his backpack and waved to Mama Bear. ‘I'm off to play!’ he said as he skipped down the trail.

Soon, Benny met his best friend, Penny the Panda. ‘Let’s find shiny rocks today!’ Penny suggested with a giggle.

As they searched, Benny spotted a squirrel. ‘Hi, Squeaky! What are you up to?’ Benny asked.

‘I’m collecting acorns for a picnic!’ Squeaky said. ‘Would you like to join me later?’

Benny and Penny agreed and kept looking for shiny rocks. They found a sparkly one near the stream!

As the day went on, they met Rory the rabbit, who showed them a hidden tunnel in a hill. ‘This is my secret hideout!’ said Rory.

Finally, Benny, Penny, Squeaky, and Rory had their picnic. ‘What a fun day of adventures!’ Benny said happily.

As the sun set, Benny waved goodbye to his friends. ‘See you tomorrow!’ he said, already dreaming of more adventures.

That night, Benny snuggled in his bed and smiled. ‘What a big, wonderful world to explore!’ he whispered, drifting to sleep.
