Illustration for Gil and Bun-Bun's Ridiculous Tower

Gil stepped up to the Grand Block-Building Battle Royale with his creature card: a forgetful rabbit named Bun-Bun who always hopped backward.

"Easy!" Gil announced. Famous last words.

Around him, builders created perfect pyramids and elegant skyscrapers. Gil and Bun-Bun? Their tower tilted left, then right, spiraling downward in confused chaos. Bun-Bun kept hopping the wrong direction, accidentally kicking blocks off.

"Disaster," Gil groaned, ready to laugh it off as a joke.

But then he stopped. Looking at Bun-Bun's determined little face—trying so hard despite hopping backward—Gil realized that laughing it off would disrespect his friend. So he told the judges the complete truth: "We tried our very best. Honestly, it's just... this."

The judges looked confused. Then they laughed—not *at* them, but *with* them. One noticed the tower wobbled rhythmically, like it was dancing. Another realized Bun-Bun's backward hops had accidentally created a perfect spiral.

"This tower has heart!" they declared.

Gil won.

Believing in yourself isn't about building perfectly. It's about standing honestly beside your quirky friends and trusting that trying your best—even when hilariously wrong—is enough.
