In the southern town of Willowberry, there was a beloved place called Bunny Meadow. Pink light shimmered over the grass, and dozens of tiny white rabbits hopped around happily. Locals believed a meadow spirit protected it—though no one had ever seen her.
That changed the day a little girl named Maribel Rose appeared, dressed in a soft pink dress with curly brown pigtails and a tiny bunny purse. The rabbits rushed to her instantly, as if greeting an old friend.
But that spring, the meadow’s glow began to fade, and the rabbits grew anxious. The mayor suspected the nearby logging crew was disturbing the land’s magic, so the townspeople asked Maribel Rose for help.
Maribel knelt on the grass and pressed her ear to the ground. She could hear the heartbeat of the meadow—weak, but hopeful. She led the rabbits toward the forest’s edge and touched the earth with her pink bunny hairpiece. A gentle pink light burst outward, calming the land.
The meadow brightened again, and the rabbits danced joyfully. The logging crew, stunned by what they saw, promised to protect the place instead of harming it.
From that day on, everyone knew Maribel Rose was the true guardian of Bunny Meadow.
