Scene 1: The Crow's Song

(Carly the Crow is perched on a tree branch, singing happily. Freddy the Fox enters.)

Freddy: (admiring) Wow, Carly! Your song is amazing. I've never heard anything so beautiful.

Carly: (blushing) Thank you, Freddy! I love singing.

Scene 2: The Clever Fox's Plan

(Freddy, being clever, thinks of a way to trick Carly.)

Freddy: Carly, your song is so enchanting. I bet it would sound even more beautiful if you sing with your eyes closed.

Carly: (curious) Really? Let me try.

Scene 3: The Tricky Theft

(Carly closes her eyes to sing, and Freddy takes the opportunity to snatch a piece of cheese from her nest.)

Freddy: (to the audience) Foxes are clever, you know!

Scene 4: The Discovery

(Carly finishes her song and opens her eyes, realizing the cheese is gone.)

Carly: (panicking) Oh no, where's my cheese?

Freddy: (acting innocent) What happened, Carly? Did the cheese fly away?

Scene 5: Benny's Advice

(Benny the Bunny hops by and notices Carly's distress.)

Benny: Carly, did you see what happened?

Carly: (sadly) Freddy said my song would sound better with my eyes closed, and when I opened them, my cheese was gone.

Benny: (wisely) Carly, sometimes others may take advantage of us. Be cautious.

Scene 6: Carly's Lesson

(Carly looks disappointed but learns a valuable lesson.)

Carly: Thanks, Benny. I'll be more careful next time. Freddy, you may have taken my cheese, but you can't take away my beautiful voice.

(Freddy looks a bit guilty.)

Scene 7: Sharing Kindness

(Benny suggests they all share a snack together to lift Carly's spirits.)

Benny: How about we all enjoy some nuts together? It's a lesson in kindness and sharing.

(They share a snack and continue their day, having learned about the importance of being cautious and the value of one's unique talents.)
