In a peaceful forest, deep among tall trees and blooming wildflowers, lived two best friends: [Benny](N62YD3T6) the bunny and [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) the fox. [Benny](N62YD3T6) was full of energy but often felt a fluttery feeling of worry in his chest. [Felix](TVSZYLTJ), with his calm and wise demeanor, was always ready to help.

One breezy afternoon while playing by the brook, dark clouds rolled in. [Benny](N62YD3T6)’s heart started racing as he worried about the storm. 'What if it’s too loud?' he asked, his paws trembling slightly. [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) noticed and knelt beside him with a gentle smile.

[Felix](TVSZYLTJ) said, 'When I feel a storm inside, I take deep breaths. Let me show you.' He demonstrated a breathing technique: 'In through the nose for four counts, then out through the mouth for four counts.' [Benny](N62YD3T6) followed and felt some of the butterflies in his tummy fly away.

As the rain started falling softly, [Benny](N62YD3T6) still had a lingering worry. [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) suggested, 'Let’s imagine your worry as a little raincloud. Can you think of something sunny to replace it?' [Benny](N62YD3T6) closed his eyes and imagined warm sunshine, picnicking with [Felix](TVSZYLTJ). Slowly, the raincloud in his thoughts floated away.

When the thunder rumbled, [Benny](N62YD3T6)’s ears perked up in alarm. [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) said, 'Sometimes, saying kind words to yourself helps. Try saying: I’m brave, I’m safe, and [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) is here with me.' [Benny](N62YD3T6) repeated the words, his voice growing steadier each time.

With his newfound calm, [Benny](N62YD3T6) looked up at the sky. The storm had passed, and the clouds were parting to reveal a soft rainbow. 'You did it, [Benny](N62YD3T6)!' [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) said proudly. [Benny](N62YD3T6) felt a warm glow of pride as he realized he had managed his storm.

The next day, [Benny](N62YD3T6) saw [Mia](7MJQZDWT) the squirrel, who seemed worried about climbing a tall tree. 'Come on, [Mia](7MJQZDWT),' [Benny](N62YD3T6) said with a bright smile. 'I can show you some tricks that helped me!' [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) watched happily as [Benny](N62YD3T6) began to teach [Mia](7MJQZDWT) about deep breathing and kind thoughts.

[Benny](N62YD3T6) said, 'We all have storms inside sometimes, but we can work through them.' [Mia](7MJQZDWT) smiled, trying her first breathing exercise with [Benny](N62YD3T6) and [Felix](TVSZYLTJ) by her side. The three friends laughed and played together as the forest filled with sunshine.

[Benny](N62YD3T6) and [Felix](TVSZYLTJ)'s story shows that a storm inside doesn’t last forever. With the right tools, you can feel calm and strong, just like [Benny](N62YD3T6) did. Goodbye for now, but remember, the sunshine is always waiting behind the clouds.
