Little hare's big adventure

There once was a land with the name of Dreamy. Dreamy was a beautiful place. There were two mountains. One was named Blossom and the other Grass. There was a valley in between; the valley was named Wonder. Imagine a place with beautiful green plants, nice weather and polite animals that could talk. There were not any people in this land; there were only animals and plants. But, as a gift to the land of Dreamy, the animals could talk.

One day, Hare was taking a walk. He decided to visit his friend, Rabbit. Rabbit lived in a rabbit hole, except it was not filled with bugs crawling in and out. The Rabbit hole was in Wonder. Rabbit always wakes up before ten and it was ten o’clock a.m. Hare was pretty sure that Rabbit was awake. So he walked to the rabbit hole. Hare said, “ Rabbit? Are you there?” “Yes I am. Is it you, Hare?” said a voice that was echoing from down below. “This is Hare. May I please come in?” asked Hare. “Why, yes. You may come in.” Rabbit replied.

So Hare happily hopped his way in Rabbit’s hole. Soon, it was like a mansion. “No mean to brag, but you may need this digital map.” Rabbit suggested. “Thank you, Rabbit!” Hare exclaimed. They walked to a place called the living room. “Look at MY beautiful furniture that you do not have!” Rabbit bragged. “Look at this vase that I made, MYSELF!” Rabbit went on.

Because of Rabbit’s bragging, Hare felt mad. “I am leaving, Rabbit!” Hare said. “Fine!” Rabbit said. Hare hopped his way out of Rabbit’s immense hole and found out that he was not in Wonder, nor Dreamy, for it was a place Hare has never been to. “Where am I?” he asked curiously. “Active. You are in Active!” a voice said that came from far away. “Who was that?” Hare questioned. “Does it matter?” the voice said.

“Is Active located in Dreamy?” Hare asked. “Oh, yes it is. Active is the plateau next to Grass. But Active is in Dreamy. Why, yes it is,” the voice replied. “What is your name?” Hare asked. “Lily is my name,” the voice said. “Are you an animal?” Hare asked, again. “Yes! How do you know?” Lily said happily. “I know that because no human has ever been in Dreamy, not even anywhere around it.” Hare said smartly.

“Very well then.” Lily said. “Where do you live?” Hare asked Lily. “I live in Dream, the capital of Dreamy.” Lily replied. “I will show you!” Lily said grabbing Hare’s hand. All of a sudden, they were in Dream zippy quick. Lily showed Hare what Dream was like.

“Let me show you around!” Lily exclaimed as she filled with joy.
