Juju is a cute lop-earred bunny, but his ears do not lop yet. Well, actually, some times one ears lops and one doesn't, so he looks pretty funny. Some of the other bunnies laugh at his funny ears. Juju get sad when the other bunnies laugh at him. He doesn't know why the other bunnies laugh, his mother said he is really cute.
One day Juju was playing out in the yard, when the other bunnies came over and started to make fun of him. Juju wanted to cry, but he thought to himself, what's so different about me. I am a real rabbit, even though, some of the other bunnies might not think so. Is something wrong with my nose, is it different or something? No, I don't think it's my nose! I think, maybe, it's my tail. Maybe it's too short. Or, maybe it's too long. Oh! I don't know!
It was getting late, so his mom called him in for a bath. After he took his bath, Juju had to go to bed, because it was 8:00. While Juju was laying in bed, he was thinking about the bunnies laughing at him. But, he was really tired, so he counted bunnies in his head. After 100 bunnies, he went to sleep. And by the time he went to sleep, it was 9:30.
He woke up in the morning, feeling so giggly and happy. When he ate breakfast he wiggled, he just couldn't sit still. Finally, he said, "I'm too happy to eat breakfast because I'm going to Disney World today. He had forgotten all about the other bunnies making fun of him.
He went outside, and the neatest thing happened! All the other bunnies were waiting in his yard, begging to go to Disney World with him. "I can't take everyone" said Juju. "Mom, can I take everyone to Disney World?" Mom came outside. "Well, ok, Juju, just this one time."
After that no one ever made fun of Juju again. They really didn't care about his ears anyway. He really was just like them.
The End
