Benny's Fun Run

Benny the bear loved to play outside. One sunny day, Benny's teacher, Mrs. Bear, said, "Today, we're going to have a fun run!"


Benny was so excited! He put on his running shoes and joined his friends at the starting line.


"Ready, set, go!" shouted Mrs. Bear.


Benny ran as fast as he could, feeling the wind in his fur and the sun on his face.


As he ran, Benny saw his friends playing tag, jumping rope, and climbing on the jungle gym.


After the fun run, Benny and his friends had a big smile on their faces.


"We did it!" shouted Benny.
