Once upon a time, in a land not too far,
Lived a fluffy white rabbit, the fastest by far.
He hopped and he jumped, with his big floppy feet,
Over tall blades of grass, he was quite petite.

But don't let his size fool you, this bunny was quick,
In a race against the tortoise, he'd be first to the stick.
He ran so fast, he left a trail of dust,
In the forest and meadows, he was a must.

One day as he hopped, he came across a sight,
A short little rabbit, all black, out of sight.
He asked her to join him, in his daily run,
And together they hopped, in the warmth of the sun.

The small black rabbit was shy at first,
But soon she found her footing, and her hops were well-rehearsed.
Together they raced, under the sky so blue,
Two fluffy little rabbits, as fast as they could.

They passed by a big oak tree, so tall and grand,
And a small patch of daisies, where they paused and took a stand.
The fluffy white rabbit, with his ears so long,
Told the small black rabbit, she was very strong.

As the day turned to night, and the stars shone bright,
The two rabbits lay down, in the moon's soft light.
The fluffy white rabbit, with a smile so wide,
Said to the small black rabbit, "You're my friend, with pride."

So remember, my dear little ones, no matter how small,
Or how tall, how big or short, we're all special after all.
And with a little love and a hop in our stride,
We can make new friends and explore far and wide.
