Deep in the heart of the great forest, where the trees stood tall and the stars sparkled like tiny diamonds, lived a little bear named Roni. But Roni was not like other bears—he was afraid of his own shadow! "Why are you chasing me? Leave me alone!" Roni cried as he ran away, his little paws scrambling against the earth. His friends in the forest tried to tell him that the shadow wasn’t scary, but he never believed them, so he stayed away from the moonlight and the trees that made shadows dance.
One dark night, as Roni walked alone, he heard a soft whisper behind him. "I am your friend, Roni. Don’t be afraid of me!" Roni shivered and asked, "Who’s there?!" The mysterious voice replied, "I am your shadow. I am a part of you. I will never hurt you. I will always be by your side, in the sunlight and under the moon." Roni slowly turned around and saw his shadow smiling at him! Curious, he raised his right paw—and the shadow raised its right paw too. Roni laughed, realizing his shadow was his loyal friend, and from that day on, they played together without fear.
