Behind the barn, the little chicken scratched at the base of the old stone wall.

A loose brick fell inward with a hollow clatter. Beyond it, something green and glowing peeked through the vines.

Sunny squeezed through the gap and stepped into a garden no one on the farm had ever noticed.

A purple flower turned its head and whispered, "Hello." Sunny pecked gently at a nearby leaf.

Sunny hopped along a path of ticklish grass that giggled under her feet. A blue mushroom bounced like a trampoline!

She landed with a soft thump and giggled. Then she reached for a cluster of silver berries.

A tiny voice spoke behind her. She turned to find a small brown rabbit holding a dandelion like a microphone.

"I've been waiting for you," the rabbit said. Sunny sat beside it and shared the silver berries.

The garden plants hummed a happy tune. The rabbit hopped onto Sunny's back, and together they walked toward the wall.

They walked back through the gap in the wall, side by side.
