The Bear and the Bunny

Barnaby liked things just so. He liked his cave dark, his berries cold, and his naps very long. He thought he liked being alone, but sometimes the cave felt a bit too big. That changed the morning a tiny shadow hopped into his doorway.

It was Pip, a bunny who couldn't stop wiggling. "Hello!" she chirped, holding up a bright flower. "I thought you might want this." Barnaby stared. No one had ever given him a flower before. Suddenly, the cave didn't feel so dark anymore.
