The Hungry Garden Friends
Sara planted seeds in her garden. She gave the seeds water and put them in sunny spots. Soon, green plants grew tall! The plants needed sunlight and water to stay healthy.
Sara saw a rabbit hopping near her garden. The rabbit was hungry and ate some leaves. Unlike the plants, the rabbit couldn't make its own food. It needed to eat plants to survive.
