Once upon a time, in the sunny Jonathan Villa, Dave the friendly bear woke up early. The birds were singing.
Dave stretched and yawned. He was excited. Today he was going to make new friends.
He walked outside and saw a rabbit. 'Hello! I'm Dave,' he said. 'Would you like to play?'
The rabbit looked shy but smiled. 'Okay. I'm Ruby,' she replied. They started to play tag.
Dave noticed Ruby had a limp. 'What happened?' Dave asked gently.
'I fell and hurt my leg,' said Ruby. Dave felt sorry for Ruby and walked slower.
'Look! A pond,' Dave exclaimed. They found a pond with ducks. 'Let's feed them,' suggested Dave.
They giggled as the ducks quacked and splashed. 'Feeding them is fun,' laughed Ruby.
When they were leaving, Ruby tripped. Dave quickly helped her up. 'Thank you, Dave,' said Ruby.
They sat under a tree. 'We're friends now,' Dave said. Ruby nodded, 'Best friends.'
It was getting dark. Dave walked Ruby home. 'See you tomorrow,' said Ruby.
Dave went to bed happy, thinking of the fun day with his new best friend Ruby.
