Once upon a time, there was a little rabbit named Benny. Benny and his family lived in a forest where food was scarce. So, every year, they migrated to a different part of the forest where food was more plentiful.
One day, Benny heard a sound that he had never heard before. It was a predator, hunting for its next meal. Benny and his family quickly burrowed underground to hide from the predator.
However, the predator was too close and Benny's family went into a state of torpor to conserve energy and survive. Benny was the only one who stayed awake, and he knew he had to find a way to protect his family.
Benny remembered a special sound that his grandpa had taught him. It was a sound that only rabbits could hear, and it was a warning call to other rabbits to stay away from danger. Benny made the sound as loud as he could, and other rabbits nearby quickly burrowed underground to safety.
The predator eventually gave up and left, and Benny's family woke up from their state of torpor. They were grateful to Benny for saving them and they all lived happily ever after.

4. Why did Benny's family go into a state of torpor?
5. Why was Benny the only one who stayed awake when his family went into torpor?
6. Do you think Benny was brave for protecting his family? Why or why not?
