There was a bunny named Tubby. He was white, fluffy and chubby. Every day Tubby would go to school with his brothers.
He learned to jump, he learned to run… He learned that eating cabbage could be fun.
The bunnies grew old and they must face the question, each one should choose a profession.
Tubby’s brothers have already decided: - I’m gonna be an Easter bunny, as my father. - I’m gonna be an Easter bunny, as my grandfather. - I’m gonna be an Easter bunny, as my great-grandfather.
And everybody wanted to be an Easter bunny, as all the grandfathers.
Vivinho didTubby not say a word.silent. Only remained His parents asked, couldn’t guessed The brothers His siblings asked about: and the parents asked: HowVivInho? about you, Tubby? -And -you, What about? Well – said Tubby – -Well – said him – I do not know what to be. I don’t know what I’m gonna be. But I am sure what not to be: everything but Easter But one thing I know: bunny. I don’t wanna be an Easter bunny.
While his father was all doubt, his mother passed out: - OOOOHHHH!!!!
Tubby found some new friends: the hummingbird Bloomy, Lorelai, the butterfly, and the bee Candy.
How come a bunny and a bee together can play? - Tubby’s brothers would say. Tubby’s parents thought they were going crazy. - What if their little boy was lazy? But they must be clear, Tubby should find a career.
Don’t you worry – said Tubby – I’m learning an excellent profession. - Learning what? To fly? – Tubby’s parents would say. - No, learning to buzz – Tubby’s brothers would tease. But he smiled and left, bouncing to meet his friends.
Time has passed. Easter was on the way. Papa and Mama Rabbit went to buy chocolate eggs to deliver. But the factories had so many orders. They didn’t have more eggs to sell.
All over the place they got the same answer: - All sold out. We have nothing left…
Papa and Mama Rabbit went to all the factories in the forest. They went to: Mr. Morgan’s, Mr. Newman’s, Mr. Duncan’s, Mr. McDowell’s, Mr. McDuffy’s, Mr. McNeel’s, Mr. Clarkson’s, Mr. Jackson’s, Mr. Robinson’s.
But the answer was always the same: - All sold out, Mr. Rabbit, all sold out…
They went back to the house hopeless. - Oh my, this never happened before…
- We cannot let the kids down… - But we have been to all the factories. There is no way out…
Tubby’s brothers were sad: - Our first distribution… This problem has no solution… Tubby was arriving with Candy.
- Why don’t we make the chocolate eggs? - If only we knew. An Easter bunny knows how to deliver eggs. Not how to make them.
- Well, I do know – said Tubby – I do. - Do you think that he knows? – asked Papa Rabbit. - Well, he said he knows – Tubby’s brothers answered. - I’m sure he knows – stated Mama Rabbit.
- And who taught you that? – Everybody asked.
- My friends did. Didn’t I tell you that I was learning a profession?
So I learned to collect pollen from flowers with Lorelai and Bloomy. And Candy is the best pastry chef in the world. She taught me all the candy recipes.
The Rabbit family’s house became a real factory. Everybody helped: Papa Rabbit, Mama Rabbit, the bunnies…
And also the friends: Bloomy, the hummingbird, Lorelai, the butterfly, and Candy, the best pastry chef in the world… And Tubby was the one in charge of managing all the work.
And when Easter came everything was ready. The baskets were full of chocolate eggs.
And Tubby’s parents were very happy.
Mama Rabbit said: - Now, our son has a profession.
And Papa Rabbit said: - Everyone should pursue their vocation…
Vivinho did not say a word. His parents asked, His siblings asked about: -And you, VivInho? What about? -Well – said him – I do not know what to be. But I am sure what not to be: everything but Easter bunny.
