    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. Then at last, the Boy got better. Such joy in the house! The doctor

    said the Boy must go to the shore. How wonderful! thought Velveteen

    Rabbit. Many times the Boy had talked with great excitement about the shore,

    about its wide sandy shore and big blue ocean.

    “What about this old bunny?” Nana asked the doctor.

    “That old thing?” said the doctor. “It’s full of scarlet fever germs. Burn it at

    once! Get him a new bunny.”

    The Velveteen Rabbit was thrown into a sack along with the Boy's bed sheets

    and old clothes and a lot of junk. The sack was carried to the backyard. The

    gardener was told to burn the whole thing.

    But the gardener was too busy picking the beans and peas before nightfall, so

    he left the sack behind. “I will take care of it tomorrow,” he said. The sack was

    not tied at the top, and the Velveteen Rabbit fell out. The next day when the

    gardener picked up the sack to take it away to be burned, the Velveteen Rabbit

    was not in it.

    Then it started to rain. The Velveteen Rabbit felt sad - so far away from the Boy,

    never again to be nice and cozy inside together and now soaking wet, too! A tear

    fell from Velveteen Rabbit’s eye, over his cheek. It plopped onto the grass.
    All at once, at the spot where the tear fell, a flower grew up. The bud of the

    flower opened. Inside was a tiny Fairy!
