**Winter Friendship** Winter came to the village, covering everything in white snow. Mimi the Cat and Didi the Duck were thrilled. "Let’s celebrate winter with Lulu!" said Mimi. "Yes!" Didi agreed. "We can play in the snow and drink warm soup together." They walked to Lulu the Frog’s house near the pond and knocked. "Lulu? Are you home?" Didi called. But no one answered. Mimi peeked inside. "Lulu isn’t here," she said, confused. They searched behind the house, under a tree, and around the frozen pond. No sign of Lulu. "Where could she be?" asked Didi, shivering. "Do you think she’s gone forever?" "I hope not," Mimi said sadly. "Lulu is our best friend." As they sat under a big tree feeling down, Mimi suddenly remembered. "Wait! Frogs hibernate in winter!" "What does that mean?" asked Didi. "It means Lulu isn’t gone," Mimi explained. "She’s sleeping through the winter to stay safe from the cold." "She’s just sleeping?" Didi’s eyes widened. "Exactly," Mimi said. Cheering up, the friends decided to make something special for Lulu. They built a snowman outside her house and left a note: "We miss you, Lulu! See you in spring!" When spring arrived, Lulu woke up and stretched. She saw the melted snowman and the note. Smiling, she hopped to the pond, where Mimi and Didi were waiting. "Lulu!" they cheered, running to her. "I’m so happy to see you!" Lulu said. "We missed you so much," said Didi. The three friends hugged, laughing. Mimi and Didi learned that even if a friend disappears for a while, it doesn’t mean they’re gone.
