The Curious Garden Friends

Once upon a time, in a sunny little garden, there lived a friendly frog named Freya. Freya loved to hop around, singing cheerful songs. She had big, bright eyes and a smile that could light up the whole garden. One day, while hopping near a big apple tree, she spotted a shiny red apple hanging from a branch. It looked so juicy and delicious! Freya thought it would be the perfect snack after her singing.

Just then, Auntie, the wise old spider, spun down from her web that was woven between the branches. “Hello, Freya!” she greeted, waving her tiny legs. “What are you up to today?” Freya replied, “I found a beautiful apple! I want to eat it, but I can’t reach it!” Auntie smiled and said, “I can help you! Let’s work together. I will show you how to climb up gently.” Freya felt excited. With Auntie’s help, she knew she could reach that yummy apple.

As they talked, a long and shiny snake slithered by. His name was Grammy. He was very friendly and loved to chat. “What are you guys doing?” he asked. Freya pointed at the apple and told Grammy about their plan. “That apple looks tasty! I want to help, too!” said Grammy with a grin. Freya was thrilled to have her friends join her. They formed a team, ready to get that sweet apple together!

Auntie spun some silk and created a little rope. She tied one end around the apple and the other end to a strong branch. “Now, Freya, you can hop onto this rope and up to the apple!” Auntie encouraged. Freya took a deep breath and hopped onto the rope. With each little jump, she went higher and higher. Auntie cheered, “You can do it, Freya! Just keep going!”

Finally, with one big jump, Freya reached the apple! She grabbed it with her little hands and looked down at her friends, squealing with joy. “I did it! I got the apple!” she exclaimed. Grammy and Auntie were so happy for her. They couldn’t wait to share the delicious treat. Freya carefully climbed down the rope with the apple in her hands, feeling proud of their teamwork.

Once they were all together on the ground, Freya shared the apple with Auntie and Grammy. They all took big, crunchy bites together, savoring the sweet taste. “This apple is the best!” Freya said, her eyes sparkling. “Thank you, Auntie, and thank you, Grammy! You both helped me so much.” Auntie smiled and replied, “Working together always makes things better, Freya. And eating good food like this apple is so important for us!”

As the sun began to set, painting the sky with orange and pink, Freya, Auntie, and Grammy sat together in the garden, full and happy. They laughed and sang songs, enjoying each other's company. Freya felt grateful for her friends and the yummy apple they shared. From that day on, they made a promise to always eat healthy food and help each other. And so, in their sunny little garden, the curious friends lived happily ever after, hopping, weaving, and sliding, all while munching on their favorite fruits.
