Once upon a time, there was a little bug named Benny. Benny loved to play in the dirt and one day, he dug a big hole in the ground. As he was digging, he saw a ladybug and ran over to give her a hug. The ladybug was so happy to see Benny and they became the best of friends.

After their hug, Benny and the ladybug went to get a drink of water from a jug. As they were drinking, they saw a big mug filled with yummy nectar. They both took a sip and it was delicious!

Feeling tired from all their playing and drinking, Benny and the ladybug decided to take a nap. They found a cozy rug under a bush and snuggled up together. They were so snug and comfortable, they fell asleep right away.

As they were sleeping, a big gust of wind blew the rug out from under them. Benny and the ladybug woke up and shrugged their shoulders, thinking it was just a little wind. They quickly found another cozy spot and went back to sleep.

And that's how Benny and the ladybug became the best of friends, and spent their days playing, drinking and taking naps. The end.
