Once was a Scared Little Rabbit …
There once was a scared little rabbit who dared one day to be brave and come out of the woods to live and play in a field full of sunshine.
But the scared little rabbit met a great white dog, a gentle dog, standing in the field. The great white dog was an angel dog, a guardian angel dog with great big, wide open eyes that saw more than the scared little rabbit wanted to see. The great white dog asked the rabbit if she would like to run and jump and play and do brave things together.
But the dog’s eyes were so big that the scared little rabbit could see reflections in those big dog’s eyes. And all the scared little rabbit could see was the reflection of what the great white dog saw. All the scared little rabbit could see was the reflection of a scared little rabbit. And this scared the little rabbit even more.
So the scared little rabbit turned and ran back into the woods where she stayed forevermore, mostly, for fear she might go back out into the sunshine and have to be brave enough to find more great white dogs with more scared little rabbits staring back at themselves from the reflections in the brave dog’s eyes, reminding the scared little rabbit of who she was and did not want to be.
Oh, from time to time she would hop out of the woods for a moment, but she never went too far from the woods, and she always returned to the woods very quickly. Because now she was afraid of angel dogs with big wide open eyes.
And most of all, the scared little rabbit was afraid of true reflections in the brave light of day.
