It was a sunny, funny, bunny day in the whimsical town of Whimsyville. Sam, a swift squirrel, and Bibs, a bouncy bunny, were the best of friends. They loved to scamper and hop together, sharing giggles and adventures.

One shiny day, Sam and Bibs found a glittery, golden gem while playing near the Great Giggling Tree. "Oh my whiskers, look at that!" exclaimed Bibs, eyes wide with wonder.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, their hearts began to knock-knock! They decided to show the gem to Mayor Moo, the wise old cow who knew everything about everything in Whimsyville.

But on their way, a cheeky chipmunk named Chuckle came along. "Tell me, tell me, what is that sparkly thing?" he chirped, curiosity shining in his little eyes.

"We found it near the Great Giggling Tree," said Sam. But Bibs felt a flutter of fibs. "No, we found it under Moonbeam Mushroom," Bibs blurted.

Chuckling chipmunk Chuckle trundled away. Sam turned to Bibs, twinkling with question marks. "Why did you say we found it at the Moonbeam Mushroom?" he asked.

Bibs bit his carrot, feeling a flutter of wrongness. "I don't know," he stuttered. "It just came out!" Sam tilted his head like a puzzled puppy.

As they continued on, Bibs felt a prickly pebble in his pawpocket. He thought about the little change in the story. The more he walked, the bigger the pebble felt.

When they reached Mayor Moo, Bibs couldn't take it anymore. With a big, bouncy breath, he burst out, "We found the gem at the Great Giggling Tree, not under Moonbeam Mushroom!"

Mayor Moo nodded wisely. "Telling the just-right truth makes your heart light as a feather, doesn't it Bibs?" Bibs felt a sunny glow inside as the prickly pebble disappeared.

Sam gave Bibs a big squirrelly squeeze. "That was brave of you, Bibs!" Bibs' nose twitched with glee. Together, they handed the gem to Mayor Moo with a giggly glow.

From that day, Sam and Bibs promised to always share the real gleams and glows of their adventures. And Whimsyville was never without sparkle, as honesty lit the way.
