In the busy city of Phnom Penh, a clever rabbit named Thun Say lived near a small park. He loved to explore the streets, where people hurried past without noticing the world around them. One morning, while digging under a mango tree, he found a shiny seed that sparkled like a tiny sun. "This must be very special," he thought, and he decided to find out what it was. However, he didn't know that the seed belonged to a poor gardener who had lost it the day before.
Thun Say put the seed in his pocket and hopped toward the market. On the way, he met an old turtle who was crying softly. "I have lost my lucky seed," said the turtle. "Without it, my garden will not grow, and my family will have no food." Thun Say felt sorry for the turtle, but he also wanted to keep the beautiful seed. He said nothing and continued walking, even though his heart felt heavy. If he had known how much the turtle needed it, he would have given it back immediately.
