Lily and Sam played in the sunny park. Lily jumped high and Sam ran fast. It was a beautiful, clear morning. Suddenly, a big blue bunny walked by. He was very, very tall.
The blue bunny had soft, deep sky blue fur. He wore a red scarf and a green backpack. "Hello!" said Lily. "What is your name?"
"My name is Barnaby," he whispered. "I like to see new places." Sam pointed at Barnaby's backpack. "Do you have special things in there?" he asked.
Barnaby smiled. "Yes, I have many special things," he said. "I found them on my adventures." Lily's eyes grew wide. "Wow! I want to see your adventures!"
Barnaby thought for a moment. "Come with me," he said softly. "I can show you where I keep my maps and treasures." Lily and Sam clapped their hands. They were so excited!
Barnaby led them to a cozy nook under a big, leafy tree. A soft blanket was on the ground. "This is my special place," Barnaby said. "It is a good place to dream."
Barnaby carefully took off his forest green canvas backpack. He opened it slowly. "These are things I have seen," he told them. "Each one has a story."
He pulled out a tiny wooden boat. Then, he found a shiny rock. Lily touched a little feather. Each item was special and bright. Sam watched with wonder.
"These are from far away places," Barnaby said. "You can see the world with me, too." Lily and Sam looked at each other. They felt so happy to have a new friend.
Barnaby unrolled a big colorful map. He showed them all the places he had seen. They smiled and dreamed of new adventures! Barnaby had seen the whole wide world, and now he could share it with his friends.
The end.
