The Sun smiled warmly from the sky, casting bright, golden light over the sleepy green meadow. Every flower bathed in its glow.
A curious little bunny hopped into the warm meadow, standing right in the path of the Sun’s bright, golden rays.
Suddenly, a dark shape stretched out on the grass behind the bunny. The little bunny gasped, wondering who this silent visitor could be.
The bunny hopped to the left, and the dark shape hopped left too! The silent shadow copied its every move.
The bunny wiggled its ears, and the shadow wiggled its ears right back. The Sun watched them with a soft, warm smile.
They danced and spun around together in the warm grass, celebrating their new and silent friendship.
The bunny tried to hug the shadow, but its paws only touched the cool green grass. The shadow was a friend you couldn't hold.
The Sun continued to shine warmly from high above, stretching their shadows long and thin across the grassy field.
Suddenly, a big, fluffy cloud floated across the sky, blocking the Sun's warm face and making the meadow grow dim.
Without the bright light, the bunny's shadow vanished completely. The little bunny looked around, feeling lonely and confused.
Then, the wind blew the cloud away! The Sun peeked out, shining its bright, golden light onto the meadow once again.
The bunny giggled as its shadow returned, happy to know that blocking the Sun's warm light is what made its silent friend appear.
