The Wolf, the Rabbit, and the Golden Butterfly

In the heart of the Magic Meadow, where the flowers danced and the trees whispered secrets, lived a clever white rabbit named Whiskers.

One sunny morning, Whiskers saw a flash of gold. It was the Golden Butterfly! Flutter, flutter, high in the sky.

Among the tall grass, a sneaky wolf named Wriggle watched. His tummy grumbled, and he licked his lips. 'Gold means good,' he thought.

Whiskers loved the Golden Butterfly and followed it, hopping over tulips and tiptoeing under mushrooms. 'Catch me if you can!' laughed the butterfly.

Wriggle pounced, but the butterfly was too quick. 'Whoosh!' it went, leaving Wriggle in a flowery tumble.

Along the way, Whiskers found a sparkling spring. He stopped to drink, the cool water tickling his nose.
