Finn pads through the silver-swept forest. His red tail swishes behind him, brushing fallen leaves. The trees stand close and quiet.

A moth bumps against his nose — soft, papery, gone. Finn keeps walking all by himself. He likes it that way.

A soft crunching sound stops Finn. He freezes. Behind a hollow log, two long ears peek out.

The bunny hops closer. Finn holds his breath. 'Hi,' Finn whispers. The bunny's ears wiggle.

Finn trots ahead and hides behind a pine tree. The bunny hops after him, nose leading the way.

The bunny bumps right into Finn's side. Both freeze. Then Finn lets out a surprised yip!

The bunny does a happy little jump-kick in the moss. Finn laughs. The bunny giggles too.

Finn points his nose at a glow-cap mushroom. The bunny points too. Finn sniffs — damp earth, sharp tang.

The bunny sniff-sniffs and sneezes. Finn giggles. The bunny's ears wiggle with delight.

Finn trots ahead and hides behind a pine tree again. The bunny hops after him, nose leading the way.

The bunny bumps right into Finn's side again. Finn yips. The bunny does a happy little jump-kick.

Finn and the bunny walk side by side along the silver path. The forest feels warm and full.
