Once there was this pony that lived in a magical rainbow land, the ponies name was Benny.
Benny the pony, lived in a rainbow house, and had a neighbour of a rabbit, called Charlie, or Chaz to her friends. So Benny the pony and Chaz the bunny, were neighbours for many years , but Chaz kept stealing into Bennies garden and stealing Bennies carrots!
Chaz had denied for years that she had been the one stealing Bennies carrots, and Benny had no proof, so eventually after a long day at the track Benny comes home to find Chaz in his garden eating his carrots!
Benny in a fit of blind pony rage stamps through the garden and hoofs Chaz right back over the garden wall and into her window! Chaz flies through her window to land in the bathtub, she’s hurt her leg in the fall, so after a quick trip to the vets office, Chaz is hobbling home, on her crutches, Benny is sitting on his porch drinking some fresh water when Chaz stumbles up the road, looking like something one of the humans had put through the washing machine.
Benny feels awful and clops over to Chaz. Chaz freaks and drops to her knees to beg for forgiveness. Benny asks nicely for Chaz to forgive him, saying how sorry he was and it was wrong of him to react in such a way. How he shouldn’t have been so angry and if Chaz will let him he will help her while she is on crutches with all her chores and cooking for her and looking after her. Chaz agrees and with help from Benny makes her way home and into bed.

After her recuperation Chaz and Benny stay friends forever and share their meals together on many occasions. The moral of the story kids stealing is wrong, and anger isn’t always the right answer. You don’t know who you’ll hurt!
