    Once upon a time, in a peaceful meadow surrounded by tall trees, lived a little rabbit named Benny. Benny was the smallest of all the rabbits in the meadow.

    Because of his size, the other rabbits sometimes teased him. They would say, 'You’re too small to hop fast!' or 'You’re too tiny to find big carrots!' But Benny didn't mind.

    Benny loved to explore and was always curious about the world beyond the meadow. One day, while hopping near the edge of the woods, Benny heard a strange noise.

    The noise was a soft whimpering sound, coming from a bush nearby. Curious, Benny hopped closer and discovered a baby bird caught in a tangle of vines.

    The bird had fallen from its nest and couldn’t free itself. Benny knew he had to help, but the vines were thick, and he was so small! Still, Benny didn’t give up.

    Using his little teeth and paws, Benny nibbled and tugged at the vines with all his might. Slowly but surely, he freed the baby bird!

    The bird chirped happily and fluttered its wings. 'Thank you, little rabbit!' the bird tweeted. 'You are very brave!'

    Benny smiled. 'Being small doesn't mean I can’t do big things,' he said proudly.

    From that day on, Benny was no longer teased by the other rabbits. They admired his bravery and kindness.

    Benny continued to explore the world with his heart full of courage, knowing that no matter his size, he could always make a big difference.
