Part 2: Chosen!

One day Nana, who took care of the Boy, flew open the lid of the toy box. She said

in a busy tone, “Oh, dear! That walking doggie is missing. I must find something

else for the Boy!” In a second, the Velveteen Rabbit was plopped down onto the

bed with the Boy.

This began another happy time for Velveteen Rabbit. Each night the Boy would

hold the Velveteen Rabbit close in his arms. In the morning, the Boy would show

the Velveteen Rabbit how to make rabbit holes under the sheets. If the Boy went

outside to a picnic or to the park, the Velveteen Rabbit would come with him.
After all that hugging and holding, much of the Velveteen Rabbit’s fur got matted
down. Its pink nose grew less pink, but the Velveteen Rabbit did not care. It was
happy.

One day the Boy became sick. His forehead got very hot. The doctor came and

went, and Nana walked back and forth in fear. Day after day, the Boy stayed in

bed. There was nothing for Velveteen Rabbit to do but to stay in bed too, day

after day.
