Once upon a time, in a land far away,
Lived a little bunny who loved to play.
With a content heart and a smile so wide,
He hopped around, enjoying the countryside.

But one day, something happened quite strange,
The bunny's favorite toy started to change.
It began to vanish, piece by piece,
Until it was gone, leaving the bunny's heart at ease.

At first, the bunny felt practical and smart,
Searching everywhere, he didn't know where to start.
But as time passed by, he grew quite ashamed,
Feeling embarrassed, he couldn't be tamed.

His once bright spirit became threadbare,
The bunny felt lost, he didn't know where to share.
But then he remembered, he wasn't alone,
With family and friends, he was always at home.

With their love and support, the bunny felt whole,
He realized that losing his toy wasn't his only goal.
There were other things in life that mattered too,
Like having fun and being happy, that's what bunnies do!

So the bunny hopped around once more,
Feeling free and content, like never before.
He knew that toys come and go, it's true,
But the love of family and friends will always be with you.
