Once upon a time, there was a shy little rabbit named Roger. Roger was a very happy rabbit, but sometimes he would feel sad, mad, and even a little tired. He was also often thirsty and hungry, but he never let those feelings get in the way of his happiness.

One day, as Roger was hopping through the forest, he came across a beautiful rabbit named Rosie. Roger immediately fell in love with her, but he was too shy to talk to her. He felt hot and cold all at the same time, and his stomach was filled with butterflies.

Roger knew he had to talk to Rosie, but he was so shy that he couldn't find the words. He decided to try and make her smile instead, so he started doing silly hops and jumps. To his surprise, Rosie smiled, and they started talking.

They talked for hours, and Roger finally realized that he didn't have to be shy to talk to someone he loved. Rosie loved Roger for who he was, shy or not. From that day forward, Roger was no longer shy, he was happy and in love.

As the sun began to set, Roger and Rosie hopped off into the sunset, feeling content and happy. The end.
