The Brave Fox and the Playful Squirrel

By Swati Sharma

In a cozy forest, the Brave Fox and the Playful Squirrel lived together. They jumped in leaf piles and explored the fall wonders.

One sunny day, the Brave Fox spotted a shiny acorn. "Let's share it!" he yipped. The Playful Squirrel agreed and they split it in half.

As they munched, they giggled. "We're friends forever!" they chirped. Their laughter echoed through the autumn trees.

Moral: Sharing and laughter create lasting friendships and make every day more joyful.
