Carly: (blushing) Thank you, Freddy! I love singing.
Scene 2: The Clever Fox's Plan

Carly: (curious) Really? Let me try.

Scene 5: Benny's Advice
(Benny the Bunny hops by and notices Carly's distress.)
Benny: Carly, did you see what happened?

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.)

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