A small fluffy white rabbit with long pink ears and a proud, joyful expression holds a silver can and calmly deposits it into a green metal trash bin by a rock in a sunny meadow; to the right a shy broad‑leafed shrub leans encouragingly, a large brown‑trunked tree with a dense green crown shelters the scene with colorful songbirds perched on a branch, while daisies and poppies dot the grass, a clear dirt path leads to the bin and a small pond to the left reflects the blue sky.

Dyslexia-optimized reading

Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Bunny hopped through the meadow. The sun was shining, and the sky was blue. Bunny loved to hop, hop, hop.

"Hello, Flower," Bunny said. The flower swayed in the breeze. "You are so pretty."

Bunny saw a leaf on the ground. "Look!" said Bunny. "A leaf!" The leaf was brown and crunchy. Bunny touched it gently. "Crunch, crunch," Bunny laughed.

Bunny hopped to the big tree. "Hello, Tree," Bunny said. "You give us shade." Bunny felt happy under the tree.

Then, Bunny saw something shiny. It was a can! "Oh no," Bunny said. "This can should not be here."

Bunny knew what to do. Bunny picked up the can. "Let's find a home for you," Bunny said to the can.

Bunny hopped to the bin near the big rock. "Here is your home," Bunny said. Bunny put the can in the bin.

"Good job, Bunny!" said the grass. "Thank you!" Bunny felt proud.

Bunny saw the birds flying. "Tweet, tweet," sang the birds. Bunny waved. "Hello, Birds," Bunny said. Bunny felt the wind on Bunny's cheeks.

Bunny sat by the pond. Bunny saw the water sparkle. "The water is happy," Bunny said. Bunny smiled.

Bunny yawned. It was time to rest. Bunny lay down on the soft grass. Bunny closed Bunny's eyes.

The world felt calm and happy. Bunny knew that taking care of the earth was very good.

Every small act of kindness helps our world smile.
