📚 Read the Story: Sam's Garden Surprise

Sam loved helping his grandmother in her vegetable garden. Every Saturday morning, he would put on his old sneakers and grab his small watering can. Today felt different, though.

"Grandma, look!" Sam shouted as he ran toward the tomato plants. "There's something moving in the leaves!"

Grandma Rosa walked over slowly, wiping her hands on her apron. She smiled when she saw what Sam had discovered. Nestled among the green tomato plants was a small brown rabbit, munching happily on the lettuce.

"Oh my!" said Grandma Rosa. "We have a visitor. But I think our little friend is eating our lunch!"

Sam watched the rabbit for a moment. Its nose twitched as it looked at him. "Can we keep it, Grandma?" he asked hopefully.

"Wild rabbits belong outside, Sam," she explained gently. "But we can make sure it has a safe place to live nearby." Together, they built a small shelter at the edge of the garden where the rabbit could stay without eating all their vegetables.
