Excerpt from "The
Velveteen Rabbit" |
 |
BY Margery Williams
"What is REAL?" asked
the Rabbit one day,
when they were lying
side by side near the
nursery fender, before
Nana came to tidy the
room. "Does it mean
having things that
buzz inside you and a
stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you
are made," said the
Skin Horse. "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."
"Does it hurt?" asked
the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the
Skin Horse, for he was
always truthful. "When
you are Real you don't
mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at
once, like being wound
up," he asked, "or bit
by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all
at once," said the
Skin Horse. "You
become. It takes a
long time. That's why
it doesn't happen
often to people who
break easily, or have
sharp edges, or who
have to be carefully
kept. Generally, by
the time you are Real,
most of your hair has
been loved off, and
your eyes drop out and
you get all loose in
the joints and very
shabby. But these
things don't matter at
all, because once you
are Real you can't be
ugly, except to people
who don't understand." |
