It was a bright morning on Cactus Ranch. Cactus Cody woke up early, ready for the big rodeo. He smiled at the warm sun and stretched his arms with excitement.
Inside the cozy barn, Buzzywhirl the giant insect buzzed around bales of hay. He grinned and tinkered with a small tool, thinking about the big horse race.
Outside in the ranch yard stood a tall red barn door. It creaked just a little when the breeze blew. Cody and Buzzywhirl hurried past, eager to train.
Star, Cody’s trusty horse, stomped her hooves anxiously. She was nervous about the big race. Cody gently patted her mane to help her relax.
“We’ll do our best, Star,” said Cody with a smile. “When we feel worried, we can take deep breaths.” He stroked her mane as the wind whipped gently.
Buzzywhirl had an idea! He searched for a shiny music box to calm Star. The tiny gears jingled, promising a soothing melody.
“I’ll tinker this music box for Star,” Buzzywhirl whispered. He twisted and turned gears until they clicked in place. Soon, gentle notes began to play.
Star pricked her ears when she heard the sweet tune. Her eyes looked calmer, and her hooves stopped stomping. Cody cheered with relief.
