Once upon a time, there was a little bear named Benny. Benny lived in a forest with all his animal friends. One day, Benny started to feel sick. He had a headache and a sore throat. His friends noticed that he was not feeling well and asked him what was wrong.

Benny told them that he was sick and needed to rest. His friends decided to give him some space and stay on the side so he could rest. They all agreed to signal to each other if they needed to talk to Benny, but to keep the noise to a minimum so he could rest.

Benny lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. The forest was filled with silence, and Benny was able to rest and recover from his sickness. A few hours later, he woke up feeling much better.

His friends were happy to see that he was feeling better and asked him if he wanted to play with them. Benny smiled and said yes. They all went out to play and have fun in the forest.

From that day on, Benny and his friends made sure to signal to each other when they needed to talk, and they always kept the noise level low when someone was sick or needed to rest. They learned the importance of silence and taking care of each other.

The end.
