"Come on, Bunny. It's bedtime," said the boy.
The boy took the rabbit to bed with him and snuggled him close all night long. The rabbit felt warm and cozy.
"This must be what it feels like to be loved," thought the rabbit. "Someday I am going to be real."
One day the boy put his rabbit in the red wagon. "You seem to like that rabbit better than all your own toys," said the boy's mother
"He's not a toy, he's real," said the boy
The rabbit was so happy. "The boy really loves me," he thought. "And now I am real."
The boy took the rabbit on a ride. When they got to the woods, the boy left the rabbit to search for treasures.
Two strange creatures came out from behind the trees and hopped toward the rabbit. They had long back legs and brown fur.
