The Velveteen Rabbit
an excerpt
by: Margery Williamson
"Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick out handle?"
"Real isn't how you're made," said the Skin Horse. "Its 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."
...Once you are Real you can't be ugly, except for people who don't understand
"When you are real, you don't mind being hurt."
