Once upon a time, there was a farmer named Rajnish who loved to grow beautiful, tasty vegetables on his farm. He woke up every morning with a big smile on his face, ready to tend to his crops.

One day, Rajnish noticed that all his pumpkin seeds had gone missing from their storage shed. He scratched his head and wondered who could have taken them.

Rajnish decided to ask his animal friends if they had seen anything suspicious. First, he approached Gopal the cow, who was grazing in the field.

Gopal shook his head and said, 'I saw a cheeky squirrel running away from the shed the other day. Maybe it was him!'

Next, Rajnish asked Maya the chicken if she knew anything. Maya clucked and said, 'I saw a mischievous rabbit near the shed yesterday. It might be worth investigating.'

Finally, Rajnish approached Rocky the dog, who was wagging his tail happily. Rocky barked, 'I heard some strange rustling sounds near the shed. It could be a raccoon!'

With the clues from his animal friends, Rajnish followed the trail of paw prints and found a cheeky squirrel hiding the missing pumpkin seeds. 'Caught you!' exclaimed Rajnish with a smile.
