the velveteen rabbit

summary
A boy receives a Velveteen Rabbit for Christmas. He loves Velveteen Rabbit so much so, he always brought doll. Velveteen Rabbit also always with him sleep and play. Weeks passed, Velveteen Rabbit grew very old and shabby, but the boy loved him just as much. However one day, he got the measles. Because everything is contagion, he’s mother made on fire clothes, toys, and bedding. Of course it included Rabbit. Rabbit into the box which is very old toys gathered and Rabbit talked with tatters Skin Horse. Skin Horse was one of favorite doll from boy’s uncle but latter on Skin Horse was dumped by uncle. Skin Horse said that “Real isn’t how you are made. It’s a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real. It doesn’t happen all at once, you become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.” Next day, boy’s mother started on fire in a backyard.


this week i have been reading the veveteen rabbit because the veveteen principles is idea from the velveteen rabbit which is child book. when i was child i read this book so i chose the velveteen principles but when i read through i don't remember at all! so i think read original book is helpful to me also it pages just 37 with some pic but it took me more longer than what i thought. Anyhow this book is really easy to read and has a moral..

I can remember being very sad when I thought they were going to burn up the rabbit. What are your thoughts/feelings about the story so far?
