Bella the Bunny and the Dream Carrot

Nibble, nibble, crunch. Bella the bunny was having her bedtime snack, a sweet orange carrot, before curling up in her cozy burrow. The sun had gone to sleep, the birds had gone quiet, and Bella's fluffy tail twitched happily. She had had a very good day, and she was ready for sweet dreams.

The moon peeked through the burrow entrance, casting a silver path across the floor. Bella's brother was already snoring softly in the corner. Grandma Bunny had tucked them both in with a leaf blanket. Bella wiggled her toes and let her eyes flutter shut.

A Rumbling Tummy

Bella thought about her day as she munched. She had shared her breakfast clover with her little brother. She had helped Grandma Bunny carry sticks for the fire. She had even left an extra carrot for the hungry field mouse. Doing kind things made her heart feel as warm as her burrow.

The Biggest Carrot Ever

Then Bella fell asleep, and what a dream she had! In her dream, she hopped through a meadow of the crunchiest, sweetest carrots in the world. And right in the middle stood the biggest carrot she had ever seen, glowing golden in the moonlight. Bella took the biggest bite of her life and giggled in her sleep.

In her dream, friendly birds landed on the giant carrot and sang. A wise old tortoise gave her a ride on his shell around the meadow. Everything tasted sweet and everyone was smiling. Bella wished the dream would never end, but morning was coming.

Bella's ears twitched in her sleep as the dream began to fade. She held onto the happy feeling as long as she could. Kind days, she whispered dreamily, make the sweetest dreams. Then she turned over and slept on.

Wake Up Smiling

When morning came, Bella woke up smiling. She did not remember every part of her dream, but she remembered feeling happy. She stretched her long ears, hopped out of her burrow, and said good morning to the sunshine. Happy days, she had learned, make the happiest dreams.

Moral of the Story

Doing kind things during the day fills your heart with happiness, and happy hearts have the sweetest dreams.
