## 🐰 The Curious Bunny's Garden

Once upon a time, in a sunny garden, there lived a curious little bunny named Benny. Benny loved to hop around and pick delicious carrots to munch on! 🥕 

One sunny day, Benny had **5 shiny carrots**. He thought, "How many carrots will I have if I share some with my friends?" 

So Benny called his friends over for a party. He invited **2 friends** to join him! 🎊 

## 🤔 Let's Solve Benny's Carrot Problem!

### **Question:**

If Benny starts with **5 carrots** and he shares **2** with his friends, how many carrots does Benny have left? 

### **Let's Count Together!**
