Once upon a time, in a small village near a big forest, lived a little cat named Mittens. Mittens was a fluffy orange cat with big green eyes and a curious nose. He loved to play in the garden, chase butterflies, and nap in the sun.

One sunny afternoon, Mittens was playing in the garden when he saw a butterfly flutter by. He chased the butterfly with all his might, deeper and deeper into the forest. He chased and chased, until finally, he lost sight of the butterfly.

Mittens looked around, but he didn’t recognize anything. The trees were tall and dark, and the sunlight couldn’t reach the ground. He felt scared and alone. He let out a little meow, a cry for help.

Suddenly, a small brown rabbit hopped out from behind a bush. “Hello,” the rabbit said in a friendly voice. “Why are you crying?”

Mittens explained that he was lost and couldn’t find his way home. The rabbit smiled. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I know this forest well. I can help you find your way back.”

The rabbit led Mittens through the forest, hopping over fallen logs and squeezing through narrow paths. They met a wise old owl who pointed them in the right direction. They even crossed paths with a grumpy badger who grumbled but eventually gave them helpful advice.

As they walked, Mittens told the rabbit all about his home and his family. He told him about his favourite toys, his cosy bed, and his delicious meals. The rabbit listened patiently and promised to help him find them again.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, they emerged from the forest. There, in the distance, Mittens saw his house! He purred with joy and ran towards it as fast as he could.

When he reached home, his family was overjoyed to see him. They hugged him tight and showered him with kisses. Mittens was so happy to be home again, safe and sound.

He never forgot the kind rabbit who helped him find his way back. From that day on, they were the best of friends. They played together in the forest, explored new places, and shared stories of their adventures.
