The Poor
Bunny's Magic
Present
by Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a place where animals
were suffering greatly from drought and hunger. A
very poor bunny was walking sadly through the fields
when, all of a sudden, a wizard appeared in front of
him. The wizard offered the bunny a bag filled with
little bouquets of flowers.
"They are magical, and they're even
more magical if you know how to use them
properly", said the wizard. The bunny was
dying of hunger, but he decided not to eat
the bouquets. He wanted to put them to
good use.
On his way home, the bunny met a very
old and very poor sheep who could hardly
walk any more. "Can you spare me
something?" asked the sheep. The bunny had
nothing except his bouquets, and since they
were magical, he was reluctant to give them
to the sheep.
But he remembered how his parents had
always taught him to share everything; so he
pulled a bouquet out of the bag and gave it to
the sheep. As soon as he did this, the bunch
shone with a thousand colors. Magic was at
work.
The bunny continued on his way, feeling
both happy and a bit annoyed. He had given
away one of the bouquets, but at the same time
it was obvious that the sheep needed it more
than he did. As he continued his journey, the
very same thing happened to the bunny when
he met a blind duck and then a lame cockerel.
When the bunny arrived home, he had
only one magical bouquet left. He told his
parents all about what had happened with the
wizard, and his parents were very proud of
the bunny's behavior. He was about to pull
out the final bouquet, when his little brother
arrived home, crying with hunger. The bunny
gave his brother the magical bouquet.
At that moment, with a great rumble of
thunder, the wizard appeared again. He asked the
bunny "Where are the magical bouquets I gave
you? What have you done with them?" The bunny
was frightened and he started to apologize. But
the wizard interrupted, saying "Didn't I tell you
that if you used them well they'd be even more
magical? Well, go outside and see what you've
done!"
The bunny went out, shaking. And what
he saw was that, thanks to the way he had used
his magical bouquets, for as far as the eye
could see the whole countryside had turned
into wonderful, green farmland. Farmland
with enough water and food to feed all the
animals!
And the bunny felt very happy that he had
acted as he had, and that the magic of his
generosity would bring happiness to everyone.
