Benny adjusted his little blue backpack and sat on the warm green grass. The meadow hummed with buzzing bees and fluttering butterflies.
He patted his blue backpack and waited. His ears perked up high. Where was his friend?
Benny called out. But only the wind whistled back through the tall grass.
Then — a tiny nose appeared at the edge of the meadow. A hedgehog was coming!
Benny opened his backpack and pulled out a fresh carrot. It began to glow — warm and golden!
The hedgehog sniffed the glowing carrot. Benny held it out, and the little hedgehog's nose twitched with joy.
Benny and the hedgehog sat together in the sun, munching on the glowing carrot. It tasted like friendship.
The meadow felt extra cozy. Benny's backpack was empty, but his heart was full.
