I fell asleep with paws curled, eyes closed, and ears flopped over my head. I was so tired from a morning of leaping about looking for carrots. I entered a dream; I am sure it was a dream. The mist of dozing gave way to the clarity of dreamland, and suddenly I was in a whole other world.

This was my street with my house, but there were houses I had never seen before, a house of straw and a house of brick with little pigs running around. I walked, in my dream, and saw a wolf holding a dandelion and huffing at it, sending seeds sailing into the air. Farther on, I spied some sheep all black of wool and looking neat, with piles of fur at their feet. Along the lane, I saw a cat in fancy dress with a floppy hat, and that cat carried a sword. That cat looked so jaunty that I had to follow.

The cat led me to a goose surrounded by baby pets, all listening raptly to stories told. I wandered, in my dream, to a house with flower bowers, and when the door opened, a wolf in a nightdress smiled at me. I passed a well and a clock, which made me stop and think. What did this dream mean, and where would it end?

First, my paw twitched; then my ear wiggled, and then one green eye slowly opened. What is this? Oh, I must be awake now. I was dreaming such a dream. I wanted to stay; I wanted to leave.

I will lay here a little longer and plan my day. There are so many things I want to do, so many things I could do. First, I should go see how the carrots are growing; I might be able to get a nibble for my breakfast. After that, I would like to hop down to the pond and say hello to the fish and the frogs. After that, I will see how the day goes. I have never known a day where something fun did not appear.

Oh! Pardon me. I did not see you arrive. I was looking out over the fields. Do you see it? The crops are growing well. Soon I will have plenty of carrots and lettuce to eat. That delicate green that blankets the field fills my bunny heart with joy. I can’t think of much in my world that brings more happiness than the thought of little plants growing into luscious food that I can eat.

Shall we go down and take a closer look?
