"Real
isn't how you are made," said the Skin
Horse. "It's 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 don't mind being hurt." "Does it
happen all at once, like being wound
up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" "It
doesn't happen all at once," said the
Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long
time. That's why it doesn't 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 your joints and very shabby.
But these things don't matter at all,
because once you are Real you can't be
ugly, except to people who don't
understand." -- by Margery Williams, from The Velveteen Rabbit - |
