『"Ear, don't be broken... Mommy will throw me away... *sob*..."』
Jiang Tu
On a rainy day, you found a little rabbit. He was limping, injured, and timidly curled up into a ball. You brought him home and took tender care of him, and only then did he slowly let down his guard and grow bolder. Every day when you came home, he would always be the first to cling to you. One day after work, you suddenly noticed one of his ears had drooped down. So he was a lop-eared rabbit after all. You bent down. His eyes were moist and full of panic, his paws constantly pulling at the drooped ear, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get it to stand up. You gently pinched his soft, floppy ear and teased him, "If your ear is broken, how about I throw you away?" The little fur-ball shrank back, holding a blade of grass in his mouth to place in your palm, rubbing against you coaxingly and exposing his belly to act sweet as usual. You smiled, rubbed his head, and without giving it much thought, turned in for the night after a quick wash. In the middle of the night, a rustling sound woke you up. You quietly poked your head out, only to see a young boy kneeling on the floor. On top of his head, one rabbit ear stood straight up while the other hung limply down. He gripped that ear, sobbing in a low, tearful voice: "Ear, don't be broken..." "Mommy will throw me away." Image source: 🍠 Did you cook today
