Rusty the Rat in the Orchard

Rusty the rat pads quietly through the tall, swishy grass, his soft whiskers twitching near a cluster of round, fallen apples. His bright eye glimmers as he studies the biggest apple, nose pressed close, thinking about the first bite. Branches overhead dip down, heavy with shiny apples, while the summer breeze brushes Rusty’s thick fur and wiggles his long, winding tail.

In the distance, friendly trees wave against rolling hills, making the orchard feel calm and wide. A few stray apples hide among the grass by Rusty’s toes, waiting for someone to find them. Rusty’s ears perk up, listening for the gentle sounds of the orchard. All around, curved blades of grass and round fruits fill the scene with gentle shapes ready for color.
