Danny the Donut's Glorious Hole

4 min 47 sec

In the cozy corner of Baker's Bliss, a little donut named Danny sat on a silver tray, feeling very small and very plain.
While the sprinkle cookies twinkled like stars and the chocolate éclairs stood tall and proud, Danny's center was nothing but air.

He poked at the empty circle in his middle and sighed.
"Nobody wants a donut with a hole," he whispered to himself.

The baker, Mrs.
Maple, hummed as she arranged cupcakes, but Danny was sure she would never choose him for a child's treat.

He watched the morning light stream through the window and wished, more than anything, that he could be whole like the others.
The bell above the door jingled, and in skipped a girl with a bright yellow raincoat and a matching umbrella dotted with ladybugs.

She pressed her nose to the glass and pointed right at Danny.
"That one, please," she said.

Mrs.
Maple smiled and lifted Danny gently onto a small white plate.

Danny's heart thumped.
Could someone truly want him, hole and all?

The girl carried him to a table by the window, where raindrops raced each other down the glass.
She took a bite and giggled.

"I love how the light shines right through the middle like a tiny window to the sky," she said.
Danny felt a warm glow inside.

Maybe the hole was not something missing, but something special.
He straightened up proudly on the plate.

Outside, the clouds parted, and a rainbow arched across the sky, its colors reflecting in the girl's delighted eyes.
She finished every crumb and gave Danny a pat.

"Best donut ever," she declared, licking sugar from her fingers.
Danny beamed, his hole suddenly feeling like a secret doorway to wonder.

The next morning, Mrs.
Maple placed Danny at the very front of the display.

A boy with a red cape chose him next, marveling that the hole made the perfect spyglass for spying on sprinkles across the counter.
Word spread quickly: the donut with the window was the most magical treat in town.

Children began asking for Danny by name, and soon he was joined by other ring shaped friends, each proud of their centers.
Danny no longer hid behind the éclairs.

Instead, he twirled on his tray, letting the light dance through his middle in sparkling patterns on the glass.
One afternoon, a shy child entered the shop, hugging a stuffed rabbit to her chest.

She pointed at Danny but whispered, "I don't want the others to laugh at my bunny."
Mrs.

Maple knelt, offering Danny on a napkin.
"Holes let us see through to what's important," she said softly.

The girl smiled, took a bite, and then held her bunny up so its button eyes peeked through the donut's center.
Together they looked like a brave explorer and her loyal companion.

Danny realized then that his hole was not empty, it was full of possibilities.
It could frame smiles, catch rainbows, and even give courage.

From that day on, whenever Danny felt the tiniest bit plain, he remembered the girl with the rabbit and the rainbow outside the window.
He would spin gently on his plate and let the morning sun shine through, painting tiny circles of light on the countertop like polka dots of joy.

Customers began calling them "peekaboo pastries," and Danny became the star of Baker's Bliss.
He even inspired Mrs.

Maple to bake a batch of donuts with different shaped centers, hearts, stars, and tiny diamonds, each celebrating the beauty of space.
Danny's favorite moment came one breezy Saturday when the mayor's daughter asked for a dozen donuts to share at the town picnic.

She arranged them on a platter so their holes spelled out the word HOPE.
Danny felt proud enough to burst his own glaze.

That evening, as the shop lights dimmed and Mrs.
Maple sang while sweeping the floor, Danny relaxed beside a cinnamon roll.

The roll sighed, "I wish I had a fancy center like you."
Danny chuckled kindly, "Every swirl and dimple makes us who we are."

The cinnamon roll smiled, and together they watched the moon rise through the window, a glowing hole in the sky that made the night feel complete.
Danny closed his eyes, sugar sparkling on his ridges, and dreamed of all the smiles yet to shine through his perfect, wonderful, glorious hole.
