## Story

Every morning, Waddles the yellow duck woke up in his cozy red-roofed cottage and admired his collection of colorful floating toys lined up perfectly on his windowsill. He loved keeping them neat and tidy, just for himself.

One bright spring morning, Waddles heard gentle splashing from the pond beside his cottage. A small rabbit named Hopscotch was trying to cool off but did not have anything to float on.

"Could I perhaps borrow one of your toys?" Hopscotch asked shyly. Waddles clutched his favorite rubber boat tighter.

"These are my special toys," he replied, turning away.

That night, Waddles could not sleep. He remembered how disappointed Hopscotch had looked. Maybe sharing one toy would not be so bad? The next morning, Waddles waddled to the pond with his rubber boat.

"Would you like to play together?" he asked Hopscotch. The rabbit's eyes lit up with joy.

As they played, a young deer named Maple came to drink from the pond. She watched them with interest. This time, Waddles did not wait to be asked.

"Would you like to join us? I have more toys at home!"

Soon, word spread about Waddles' sharing garden. A hedgehog brought berries to share, and a squirrel brought acorns. Each day brought new friends and new things to share.

One rainy day, Waddles discovered his roof was leaking. Before he could worry, his new friends appeared with tools and materials they had all shared. Together, they fixed his roof while sharing stories and laughs.

That evening, as Waddles looked at his windowsill, he realized something wonderful. His toys were not just lined up perfectly anymore. They were surrounded by friendship bracelets, painted stones, and little gifts from his friends. His collection had grown into something far more special than before.
