Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Little Bunny. Benny was a little bunny who lived
in a cozy burrow with his mommy. He loved playing
outside in the sunshine, hopping through the grass, and chasing butterflies.
But when the sun went down and the sky turned dark,
Benny didn't feel so brave any more. At bedtime, Benny

(00:23):
would snuggle under his blanket and whisper, I don't like
it the dark, Mommy, it's too scary. Mommy gave him
a warm hug. The dark isn't scary, sweetie, she said gently.
It's just part of the day and it can be
full of special things. One night, Mommy had an idea.

(00:45):
Let's try something fun. She said. It's called the Brave
Bunny Challenge. If you can stay calm in the dark
and look around, you might find something wonderful. Benny blinked, really,
he asked, like, what you'll see? Mommy smiled. That night,
after bedtime, Benny stepped just outside the burrow. He took

(01:09):
a deep breath. It was quiet and still, the grass
was cool, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Benny
looked up. Wow, he said, the stars are like tiny
night lights. Then he heard a soft sound, wo wo,
Benny jumped, but it was only Oliver the Owl, sitting

(01:30):
on a tree branch. Hello, Benny said, Oliver, kindly, are
you out for a night walk? I'm doin the Brave
Bunny Challenge, said Benny. Well done, said Oliver. There's nothing
to fear. Night time is calm and full of little surprises.
Benny smiled and kept walking. He saw fireflies blinking like

(01:53):
little flashlights in the grass. He heard crickets chirping a
quiet song. He even sawt a moon shining like a
silver balloon in the sky. This isn't so scary, Benny said,
It's kinda nice. After his walk, Benny went back inside.
Mommy was waiting with a big hug. How was the dark,

(02:15):
she asked. It's not scary any more, Benny said proudly.
It's quiet and sparkly and full of cool things. From
that night on, Benny didn't hide under his blanket any more.
He looked forward to seeing the stars, the moon, and
hearing the nighttime sounds. He had passed the Brave Bunny Challenge,

(02:38):
and he was never afraid of the dark again. The end.
