Plot Summary
A velvet plush toy was presented as a Christmas gift for the boys. The boy played with other new gifts and forgot about velvety bunnies for a while. These gifts are very modern and mechanical, reminiscent of an old stuffed bunny. The smartest and oldest toy in the room, the leather pipe belonging to the boy's uncle tells the rabbit how toys pay off as if by magic with the love of children . The rabbit was surprised at the idea. However, it is highly unlikely that he will grant this wish.
One night, the baby's nanny gave him a bunny to sleep on instead of a lost toy. Rabbits have become the boys' favorite toys and we go on a spring picnic together. Guys consider rabbits to be real. Over time, the rabbit will be ragged, but happy. When he meets a real rabbit in the summer, he finds the velvet rabbit can't jump and says it's not a real rabbit.
One day the boy collapsed of scarlet fever and the rabbit sat with him while he recovered. The doctor takes the boy to the beach and asks him to disinfect his room: all his books and toys, including the stuffed rabbit, are burned. The rabbit was locked up in a bag and left in the yard overnight, where he sadly looked back on his life with his baby. The stuffed animal cried, real tears fell to the ground, and pretty flowers blossomed. A fairy emerges from the flowers, comforts the velvet rabbit and pretends to be a magical fairy in a nursery. He took it with him because he got attached to the guy who really loved her and said "make it real" to everyone.
The fairy took the rabbit into the forest, where she met another rabbit and kissed the velvet rabbit. The velvet bunny becomes a real bunny and joins other bunnies in the jungle. Next spring, the bunny will see the boy again, and the boy will see that he looks like his old velvet bunny. The boy was delighted to see the wild rabbits.
