In an enchanted forest, there lived a little rabbit named Nico. Nico was known for his generosity and willingness to help all the animals in the forest. If the squirrel Ana needed nuts, Nico would gather them; if the fox Lucho had a broken shelter, Nico would fix it; and if the turtle Tña needed company to cross the river, Nico was there, carrying her on his back.

The rabbit worked tirelessly, jumping from one place to another to meet the needs of others. Although everyone appreciated him, many began to take his help for granted. One day, while helping the giraffe Lili decorate her tallest tree, Nico slipped and fell. It wasn't a serious fall, but when he stood up, he felt pain in his hind legs. This pain wasn't just physical; it was also the burden of feeling always needed by others, but never cared for.

That night, as he rested in his den, Nico looked up at the moon and sighed. "I love helping my friends, but I don't have the strength anymore. No one stops to think about how I feel or if I need help too."

The next day, when Bruno the beaver asked him for help building his dam, Nico took a deep breath and replied:

"Sorry, Bruno, but I need some time for myself today. I'm tired and want to rest."

Bruno looked at him in surprise, but then nodded. From that moment on, Nico started to say "no" when he felt he needed him. Instead of helping everyone all the time, he dedicated himself to taking care of his own den, enjoying the sunshine and happily jumping around the forest without any worries.

Over time, the other animals understood that Nico couldn't do everything for them. Some started to support each other instead of always depending on him. They even organized themselves to help the rabbit when he needed something, like bringing fresh carrots or taking care of his rabbit.

Nico's life changed for the better. He learned that helping is good, but taking care of yourself is just as important. And the whole forest flourished with a spirit of cooperation and balance.

Moral: Being generous is wonderful, but we must remember that even the biggest hearts need rest and self-care. Helping others should not mean forgetting to help ourselves.
