The bunny was the best chestnut seller in the region. She herself took care of the chestnut grove and collected the chestnuts very carefully. As she was happy and kind, many birds helped her in this task, bringing in her beak the chestnuts that had fallen further away.
Once all the nuts were placed in a bag, the bunny would transport them by car to the main square of the village, where she had installed her grocery store. There she roasted her chestnuts with great dedication. That's why they were reputed to be the best in the region. The bunny's clientele grew steadily.
One day, a strong gale lashed the chestnut grove and swept away almost all the chestnuts in the trees. The bunny thought herself lost. What would I do now? Without nuts to sell, she would lose all her clientele and the fruit of so many years of work.
Her bird friends, however, came to help her. One by one they brought all the scattered chestnuts. It was very hard work, as they sometimes had to fly many kilometers.
So, although the bunny had sold fewer nuts than usual, she was able to retain her clientele and avoid further damage. There are no friends that are small, don't you think?
