Meet Benny the Bengal Tiger: A New Friend in the Attic

There was a soft patter of footsteps on the attic stairs. The door creaked open, and a gentle hand placed a new friend on the rug.

He was striped in warm shades of orange and gold, with curious eyes that sparkled in the dim attic light.

“Hello,” said Snowflake the Seal, rolling closer. “I’m Snowflake! What’s your name?”

The newcomer blinked.
“I’m Benny. Benny the Bengal Tiger.”

A Warm Welcome From New Friends

Terry the Triceratops stomped forward, his little horns shining.
“A tiger? Wow! We’ve never had one of those before.”

Coral smiled from her cozy chair by the window.
“Welcome to Nana’s Attic, Benny. Around here, everyone’s made with love — and there’s always room for one more friend.”

Benny’s tail twitched with excitement.
“It’s nice to meet you all. I’ve never lived in an attic before. It feels… warm.”

Snowflake giggled.
“Wait until you see what kind of adventures happen up here!”

And just like that, Benny found himself surrounded by new friends who already felt like family.

A Gentle Story About Mistakes and Learning

The morning sunlight peeked through the attic window, landing on the soft rug where Coral, Terry, and Snowflake were sorting Nana’s sewing basket.

Buttons of every size and color sparkled like tiny treasures.

Snowflake rolled one across the floor.
“Catch it, Benny!”

Benny crouched low, tail twitching.
“I’m on it!” he roared — well, almost roared — and pounced!

But when he looked down… the button was gone.

Why Stories About Belonging Matter

“Oh no,” said Coral. “It’s missing!”

They searched everywhere — under the rug, behind the trunk, even inside the yarn basket — but the shiny blue button was nowhere to be found.

Benny sat down, his tail drooping.
“I was supposed to catch it. Now it’s lost because of me.”

Coral smiled kindly.
“Sometimes things hide where we least expect it.”

Snowflake rolled closer.
“Let’s check you, silly tiger!”

A Story That Celebrates Confidence and Friendship

Benny blinked.
“Me?”

Terry chuckled.
“You do have a lot of stripes to hide things in.”

Benny twisted and turned — and there, stuck right to his tail, was the missing button!

Everyone burst out laughing.

“I guess I found it after all,” Benny said proudly, wagging his tail.

“You sure did,” Coral laughed. “And maybe next time we’ll sew that button onto you!”

The friends added the button safely back into the basket, giggling all the while.

Benny smiled. He might be a little clumsy sometimes, but he learned something important that day — even when you make mistakes, you can still save the day. 💛
