<DIV>In a warm, gentle corner of the island of Serendipity lived a big bunch of bunnies. The bunnies were all the same. They had cute little noses, fluffy puffed tails, and two perky ears that stood straight up. All of the rabbits, that is, except Leo the Lop. What made Leo different was that his ears hung straight down. The other bunnies began to notice that Leo was different, which seemed very funny, indeed. Whenever Leo hopped by the other bunnies would grab their sides and giggle. Leo didn’t see anything funny about the way he looked. As far as Leo could tell, he was just as normal as normal could be. Finally he asked, “How come you always laugh at me?” “It’s your ears,” they laughed. “They go down, not up. You aren’t normal.” Not being normal made Leo feel very sad. With the help of crotchety old possum, all of the rabbits learn that “normal” is just whoever and whatever you are.</div>
