    Ethan was a curious rabbit with a heart full of love. He lived in a burrow at the edge of the forest and loved exploring the animal kingdom. His dream was to make friends with animals from all walks of life.

    One day, Ethan ventured into a part of the forest he had never explored before. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a tiny wolf cub that appeared to be lost. The cub introduced himself as Malik.

    Ethan, being friendly, immediately extended his paw in friendship. Malik, touched by Ethan's gesture, accepted it, and the two quickly became the best of friends.

    Malik was so elated that he wanted Ethan to meet his parents. He believed that if his parents saw how kind and friendly Ethan was, they would surely accept him as a friend.

    But when Ethan and Malik reached the wolves' den, Malik's parents looked at Ethan with suspicion. Wolves and rabbits were not known to be friends in the animal kingdom.

    Malik's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf, were a bit cautious. They found it hard to believe that their son could be friends with a rabbit.

    Ethan could sense their unease and decided to break the ice. He told them about his adventures in the forest and his dream of making friends with all animals.

    He also shared how he and Malik had quickly formed a bond, helping each other through various challenges in the forest. Malik chimed in with his own stories, vouching for Ethan's kindness.
