我想變成真的

4 人贊了文章「有一隻絨布兔子，起初它確實很漂亮。它是胖胖的，有成團的絨毛。它的外套上有棕色和白色的斑點。」

絨布兔子的開篇和很多兒童讀物一樣，暖暖的。一隻小絨布兔子陪伴著小男孩，直到他變舊褪色，但小男孩對他的愛讓他最終變成了一隻真的兔子。這個小故事曾經溫暖過我的童年。每個小孩子應該都有過自己的喜愛的那一隻毛絨玩具，可能是小熊小狗，也可能和故事裡一樣是一隻毛絨絨的小兔子。他們會變老變舊，會像故事裡的兔子那樣"鬍子掉了，縫在耳朵上的紅棉線發黑了，棕色的花紋褪色了「，有一天，他們會被我們的新玩具所替代被忘記。但這個小故事的暖心之處在於，只要被真心喜歡過，舊的玩具會變成真的。他們不會被扔在垃圾場里，而是和其他小動物生活在一起，並且會時不時回來看我。

這幾天突然又想起了這個故事。也許它不僅僅是關於一個想變成真的兔子的絨布兔子。也許我們每個人心裡都住著這樣一隻絨布兔子，在尋找一個能用愛把自己變成真的的那個人。

雖然我已經過了相信童話的年齡，但我心裡的某個角落依然願意相信，曾經我床頭的那隻小熊已經變成了真的，現在我床頭的四隻小兔子也有一天會變成真的小棕兔，去到農夫McGregor的院子里偷蘿蔔，也會有一個男孩出現，把我變成真的。

"Real isnt how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "Its 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 dont mind being hurt."

"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"

"It doesnt happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. Thats why it doesnt 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 loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things dont matter at all, because once you are Real you cant be ugly, except to people who dont understand."
