Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny was always hungry, but one day he woke up feeling sad. He went to his friend the rabbit and asked him why he was feeling sad. The rabbit told him that he had just heard that his favorite honey tree was cut down! Benny was shocked.

He decided to go on an adventure to find another honey tree. On the way, he met a grumpy old badger who was very angry because someone had taken his nuts. Benny offered to help the badger find his nuts in exchange for some honey. The badger agreed and they set off on their adventure together.

Along the way, they came across a group of bees who were very excited about the arrival of spring. They invited Benny and the badger to a big picnic to celebrate. At the picnic, Benny finally found the honey he was looking for, but he was confused because there were so many different kinds of honey to choose from.

In the end, Benny was so happy that he found some delicious honey and made a new friend that he danced with the bees and the badger all the way back home. And they all lived happily ever after, snacking on honey and nuts.
