Once upon a time, there was a sad little bear named Benny. His friends were all feeling different emotions too - Max the fox was surprised, Susie the squirrel was sick, Timmy the tiger was angry, and so on. One day, they all went on an adventure to find the solution to their feelings. They found a magical tree that granted emotions according to their needs - if they felt happy, it would give them more happiness; if they felt hungry, it would give them food. The friends were overjoyed and felt their emotions change. But then, they heard a loud growl from the tree. It was a monster that only appeared when someone was feeling scared. The friends were scared, but they came up with a plan to defeat the monster. They pretended to be asleep, and the monster fell asleep too. When it was asleep, they snuck away and found a way to destroy the monster permanently. From that day on, they were never bored, tired, or sleepy again, and they all lived happily ever after.
