Leo raced outside to play. The sun shone bright! But wait! He stopped short. His guinea pig sat silently in its little wooden house. Those sad eyes looked up at him. A twinge of guilt squeezed Leo's stomach.
Leo rushed to the pet house. His sneakers crunched on the gravel path. He opened the door wide. Oh no! There was no food in the house! His face fell as he remembered he forgot to feed his furry friend.
He raced back to the kitchen! A bowl of fresh veggies sat on the counter. He scooped them into a rainbow basket. Suddenly, he tripped over a toy truck! Carrots flew everywhere. Silly Leo burst out laughing!
Leo hurried back with the basket, heart racing with excitement. He held it carefully in front of the pet house. The guinea pig sniffed happily and munched on a carrot. Crunch, crunch! That made Leo smile even wider.
With a happy squeal, Leo had an idea! He would build a special treat basket every week. He set down his rainbow basket and gathered colorful supplies. His guinea pig wiggled in delight, as the sunny morning brightened even more.
Leo carefully selects bright ribbons and shiny stickers. Each one will make his basket special! He imagines the guinea pig's joy. It was fun to create something for his furry friend!
Finally, Leo stepped back to admire his work. The special treat basket was full of colorful surprises! His guinea pig peeked out of its house, eyes wide with wonder. Leo felt proud.
With a final giggle, Leo promised to make the treat basket every week. The sun shone bright, and the backyard felt filled with happiness. Leo waved goodbye to the guinea pig for now, but they would have more adventures soon.
