Katerina Michouli | The little moon bear – A very short tale!

I was born in China, in the spring, having a big white “V” shaped in my chest. My mum says that this is a sign of good luck, but I don’t see how that is it possible, because my best friend the little bunny said to me that I, and my family are quite vulnerable. “What is vulnerable?”, I asked. And he said: “You knowww, it means that you, and your family soon you will be vanished!”. “What do you mean by vanished?”. I asked with an angry tone in my voice this time. And he said, lowering his eyes:

“Poof! You will disappear…just like that!” And he ran like the wind, towards the woods! Hahaha!!! I think he feared what my reaction would be. I sooo love this little bunny, even when he says what is in his mind, without thinking that he might hurt others! Oh well, at least he is honest!
Have I told you that I like playing during the day? My dad says that we are diurnal?!?! What is that even mean?!?! Anyway…My favourite game is ‘run and hide!’ I hide, and the little bunny runs, hahahha! I also like climbing in the trees! And sometimes I stay there for hours looking at the stars! But at night, I like burying my face in my mum’s embrace, and I sleep serenely knowing that my dad will always be there to protect us from those evil humans, called poachers! Hunters, you know…My mum says that they are very mean. When I asked her why, she distracted my attention with an apple! Go figure…! I believe she didn’t want to give me an answer. Hmmm… I wonder why.
Did I tell you that our home is a beautiful oak hollow tree? It is very cosy, and in the winter we stay indoors, mostly sleeping, because it is very cold outside! Mum said that if I will be a good girl, we will have some cherries, and honey for lunch! Yay! And dad said we are going to have some eggs, and mushrooms for dinner. Not really a fan of eggs to be honest, I would have preferred some herbs instead! My dad said that I am very fussy! Pffff!!! Oh, nooo!!! I have to turn back home now, it is getting rather late! Byeeee!
