Once upon the time there lived one little Bunny.
He was almost no different from all the other bunnies. Just like everyone else he was nibbling sweet carrot, was chewing crispy cabbage, was joyfully jumping in the green forest. And he had a pretty furry tail.
The only thing he was always mewing.
- How are you? – he was asked.
- Meow! – he replied.
- Where have you been? – asked him his dad.
- Meow! – was saying the Bunny.
- You wanna eat? – asked him his mom.
- Meow! – answered he again.
- You wanna go for a walk? – asked him his friends.
- Meow! – told them Bunny as well.
- Bunnies don’t meow! – said everyone around him.
They loved Bunny, but didn’t understand him. That’s why they were very upset. And they decided not to pay attention to him.
Bunny got very sad because of that and started crying.
And then he decided to leave everyone.
He was walking in the woods and weeping bitterly.
“ Is that my fault that I meow?” – was thinking the Bunny.
And there was little Kitten joyfully running towards him. He was so pretty and so furry.
- Why are you crying, Bunny? - asked the Kitten.
- Meow! – answered the Bunny and started crying even harder.
He thought that the Kitten won’t understand him and will keep on running.
- Meow! – happily answered the Kitten.
Bunny’s tears dried up and he, smiling, replied:
- Meow!
The Kitten started jumping up and down around him and said again:
- Meow!
They became friends. And from now on they walked together and meowed. And around them everybody was being happy for their friendship.
Because even if you meow, you can still find a friend.
Meow!
