Benny the Beaver and the Cookie Jar

Benny the beaver promises to leave the honey cookies cooling for Grandpa's birthday, yet their smell fills the kitchen and one bite begins to feel harmless.

How to handle temptation.

In a bright little village called Maple Hollow, there lived a young beaver named Benny. Benny was hardworking and cheerful, and he loved building things with sticks and mud. But Benny also had a big sweet tooth, and that sometimes got him into trouble.

One Saturday morning, Mama Beaver put on her shawl. "Benny, I'm going to the market. I baked a batch of honey cookies for Grandpa's birthday party this afternoon. They're cooling on the kitchen table. Please don't touch them. We need every single one."

"I promise, Mama!" said Benny.

Mama left, and the house grew quiet. Benny sat down to build a tiny dam out of twigs. But something sweet and golden floated through the air.

Sniff, sniff.

The cookies.
