Charlie's Three Best Friends

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away, there was a little boy named Charlie. Charlie was a happy-go-lucky chap who loved nothing more than exploring the world around him. His favourite thing in the world, however, was his pet hamster, Tony. Tony had soft, golden fur and the biggest, brightest eyes you had ever seen. Charlie loved Tony more than anything in the world, and Tony loved Charlie right back. One day, Charlie and Tony were playing together in the garden when they heard a strange noise coming from outside the fence. They both looked up and saw a tiny, fluffy white rabbit hopping towards them. The rabbit seemed lost and confused, so Charlie picked it up and gave it a big cuddle. "Who's this, Tony?" said Charlie. "I think we've got a new friend!" Tony sniffed at the rabbit, and then gave it a big lick on the nose. The rabbit seemed to like Tony, and they all settled down to play together in the sunshine. It wasn't long, however, until things started to go awry. Tony was a little jealous of the new rabbit, and started getting grumpy whenever the rabbit came near Charlie. Charlie tried to reassure Tony that he loved him just as much as ever, but Tony just wasn't having it. He started growling and being mean to the little rabbit, who didn't understand what he had done wrong. Charlie was getting worried. His two favourite animal friends were fighting, and he didn't know what to do. He tried all sorts of things to make them get along - he gave them treats, he played games with them, he even tried dressing them up in silly outfits. Nothing worked, and Tony just kept getting more and more upset. One day, Charlie was sitting outside with Tony and the rabbit, trying to come up with a new plan to make them friends again. Suddenly, Tony started barking frantically and ran towards the fence. Charlie looked over to see what was wrong and saw that a whole pack of wild rabbits had come into the garden! Charlie was terrified. He didn't know what to do. But then, something amazing happened. Tony, who had always been so grumpy with the tiny rabbit, started barking and growling fiercely at the wild rabbits. He was protecting Charlie and his new friend! The tiny white rabbit hopped over to Tony and started nuzzling against him, and suddenly they were all playing together like nothing had ever been wrong. Charlie was overjoyed. He had thought that his two friends would never get along, but when it really mattered, they had chosen love over jealousy. And Charlie realised that the little rabbit wasn't really lost - he had come to teach them all a very important lesson. So the three friends played together for the rest of the day, chasing each other and laughing until the sun went down. And Charlie knew that, as long as his friends loved each other, they could overcome even the silliest misunderstandings. The end.
