Before we get into the story, do you want to know a fun fact? Did you know that the word veterinarian means working animal in Latin? Most vets treat small animals and household pets, while only a quarter of vets treat wild animals. Fets need to be very brave on a daily basis. Working with animals can sometimes come with injuries. Hopefully, they deal with more barks than boo-boos.

Pretty cool. huh. Okay, story time. Today we have a super special Ryer's Reader's Reader's request from three-year-old Olivia. Olivia would like to hear a My Little Pony story. So we are going to read Fluttershy's Bunny Haven by Jillian M. Barrow. I hope you enjoy this story, Olivia. Let's do this. Flutter Shy's pet bunny angel hops through an obstacle course. He wants to win the Ponyville Pet Contest. Be careful, Flutter Shy tells him. It is too late.

Angel falls and hurts his foot. Flutter shy does not have bunny foot braces. She cannot help Angel by herself. Flutter shy takes her bunny to see Dr. Fauna. Dr. Fauna is the best. vet in equestria. Dr. Fauna is very busy. There are too many animals at her clinic. The animals are happy at the clinic and do not want to leave. They know how to make the critters happy and give you more space, Flutter-Shye says. Flutter-Shye wants to build an animal sanctuary.

A sanctuary is a safe place where creatures can live. Animals, can move there after Dr. Fauna makes them feel better. Flutter Shy's friends know who can help. Pinky Pie says Hard Hat can build the sanctuary. Rarity says Dandy Granger can decorate it. Apple Jack says Wrangler can help create a space for each animal. Flutter Shy is excited. She has so many ideas.

Working with these expert ponies will be fun. Hard Hat asks Flutter Shy how the sanctuary should look. The sanctuary should not have walls, Flutter shy tells him. That way, animals can go back to the forest when they are ready. Hard Hat tells Flutter shy that he understands, but he thinks his ideas will be better. She will thank us when she sees the sanctuary, he tells his team. Dandy thinks the sanctuary should be decorated with bright colors. Animals will love brown and green pillows. Those are the colors of nature, Flutter Shy says.

Dandy thinks he can change Flutter Shy's mind. Sometimes ponies do not know what they want, he says. Wrangler needs to know where the animals should stay. We do not need cages, Flutter Shy tells her. Animals should be free to come and go. Guller disagrees. She thinks cages will keep the animals safe. Later, Fluttershye checks on every pony's work.

Pony, listen to her! Hard Hat is building walls! Dandy is hanging colorful curtains. Wrangler is preparing cages! Do you love it? they ask. I do not love it, Flutter Shy replies. Hard hat's doors are too small for giraffes. Dandy's curtains block out sunlight.

Rangler's cages are not cozy. You all worked hard, Flutter shy says, but you did not do what I asked. She tells the ponies she does not need their help anymore. Just then, Dr. Fauna arrives with the antips. animals. The animals are so excited about their new home, they run toward it. Crash! Oh no! The animals accidentally wrecked every pony's hard work! The sanctuary is ruined! Flutter shy is sad, but she does not give up. She loves helping animals. She will find a way to make her dream come true. Flutter shy starts over.

This time, the sanctuary will be built the way she wants. Flutter shy's friends help. Pinky Pie builds a rope swing. Rarity hangs a hammock. Applejack plants some flowers. Soon it is time to show Dr. Fauna. Welcome to the sweet feather sanctuary, Flutter shy says. It is perfect.

The animals and Dr. Fauna all love it. It took a lot of work, but Fluttershy is so proud of making her dream come true. Angel and his friends are happy to have a big, safe space to hop and play. The end. Don't forget to stick around to see if you can answer today's paying attention question. Here you go. Do you think you can answer today's paying attention question? The ponies help Flutter Shy build the sanctuary just the way she wants. What does Apple Jack do to help?

If your answer was, plant, flowers? You did it! Great job! You sure were paying attention. I hope you enjoyed that story. I wonder what we're going to read next. Bye, Olivia!
