Ella, the curious bunny, hopped into the big, green forest. She wanted to find a special flower that glowed at night. But Ella didn't know where to look. She felt a little scared but also excited. It was a big forest, and she was just a little bunny.
Deep in the forest, Ella stopped. She couldn't find the glowing flower anywhere. The trees were tall and the shadows were long. Ella felt small and lost. - Where is the flower? she wondered.
Ella kept searching, but the forest was full of surprises. She tripped on a root and got her fur muddy. Then, a big, loud wind rustled the leaves. - Oh no! Ella squeaked, feeling scared. She wanted to be brave, but the forest seemed too hard.
Ella sat down, feeling sad. - I can't do this, she sighed. She thought about going back home. But deep inside, she wanted to find the flower. She just needed to be brave.
Just then, a wise owl flew down. - You can do it, Ella, the owl hooted. - Courage is in your heart. Ella listened carefully. Maybe she could be brave after all.
Ella took a deep breath and stood up. She followed the owl's advice and walked bravely. Soon, she found the glowing flower! - I did it! Ella cheered. She realized she was brave all along.
