Once upon a time, in a lush green meadow, there lived a baby mouse named Molly and a baby snake named Sammy. Molly was small and gray, with soft fur and tiny pink ears. Sammy was small too, with shiny green scales and bright yellow eyes. They became best friends the moment they met.
Every day, Molly and Sammy would explore the meadow together. They would chase butterflies, climb tall grass, and listen to the birds chirping. Molly loved to dig little burrows in the soil, while Sammy slithered through the grass with grace.
One sunny day, when Molly and Sammy were playing near a big rock, they heard a faint cry for help. They followed the sound and found a baby bird stuck in a thorny bush. Molly gently nibbled away the thorns while Sammy coiled himself around the bird for support.
The baby bird, grateful for their help, introduced herself as Bella. She had fluffy gray feathers and a sweet melodious voice. From that day on, Molly, Sammy, and Bella played together. They became a trio of inseparable friends, exploring the meadow and having fun.
As time passed, Molly realized that Sammy could slither through narrow spaces and Bella could fly high in the sky. Molly felt left out because she couldn't do anything extraordinary like her friends. She started to feel sad and lonely.
One day, when Molly was sitting alone by the meadow, a little bunny named Benny hopped by. Benny was quick and had long floppy ears. He made Molly laugh with his funny tricks and charming personality. Molly realized that she didn't need extraordinary abilities to be special. She had her own unique qualities.
Molly, Sammy, Bella, and Benny formed a new group of friends. They had exciting adventures together, making each day in the meadow filled with joy and laughter. Molly learned that being true to herself and finding friends who appreciate her for who she was, made her feel like the happiest little mouse in the world.
From that day forward, Molly knew that friends are invaluable treasures and that she was special just the way she was. The end.
