Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there lived a snake named Sam, a rabbit named Ruby, and a gazelle named George. Sam was long and thick, Ruby was small and slender, and George was fast and strong. They were the best of friends, even though they were all so different. Every day, they would have so much fun playing together in the forest. Sam would slither through the tall grass, chasing Ruby as she hopped and skipped. George would run alongside them, with his graceful leaps and bounds. They laughed and giggled, having the best time!

Sam loved Ruby very much, and Ruby loved Sam too. Sam helpfully coiled himself around Ruby when they napped, keeping her warm and safe. In return, Ruby would draw the most beautiful pictures for Sam, using the bright flowers and leaves of the forest as her inspiration. Sam and George were also inseparable friends. Sam used his sharp senses to help George catch his prey while hunting, and George would return the favor by racing around to find the tastiest leaves and fresh water for Sam when he was hungry or thirsty. Sometimes, Sam would even take a rest on George's big and strong back when his coils got tired from slithering around.

One sunny day, as they were playing in the forest, they spotted a large and fierce predator creeping towards them. Its eyes glinted with hunger, and its sharp teeth were bared. The friends' hearts raced with fear! But in times of trouble, true friends stick together, and that's just what they did. Sam quickly hissed a plan to Ruby and George: "Let's show this predator how strong our friendship is!"

Ruby, being clever with her small size, stood in front of Sam, ready to distract the predator with her quick moves. George, with his incredible speed, took off into the distance, luring the predator away from their precious hiding place. Sam, being strong and courageous, slithered close to the predator, hissing loudly, showing the predator that he wasn't afraid. His quick movements dazzled the predator and confused him. While the predator was focused on Sam, Ruby and George sneaked back to their hiding place.

Together, they managed to outsmart the predator and keep each other safe. When the predator finally gave up and left, the friends rejoiced and hugged each other tightly. From that day on, their bond grew even stronger. They knew that no matter what challenges they faced, they would always be there for one another.

And so, the snake, the rabbit, and the gazelle continued to live in the beautiful forest, their friendship shining bright like the sun. They always played together, helping and protecting each other, for they understood that true friendship was the most magical thing in the world. And so, my dear little one, never forget the power of friendship. Friends come in all shapes and sizes, and together, you can overcome any obstacle, just like the snake, the rabbit, and the gazelle did. Now, close your eyes and sleep tight, dreaming of the adventures you'll have with your own special friends. Goodnight!
