A Surprise for Little Rabbit
One bright spring morning, Little Rabbit noticed that things around the burrow were changing. Mama Rabbit was resting more, and Papa Rabbit was busy preparing a cozy little room next to theirs. When Little Rabbit asked what was happening, Mama smiled and said, “We’re going to have a new baby soon!”
At first, Little Rabbit didn’t know what to think. He had never been a big brother before. Would things stay the same? Would Mama and Papa still have time to play hide-and-hop or read his favorite bedtime stories?
Little Rabbit spent the next few days imagining what it would be like. Would the baby be fun to play with? Would it be able to talk or hop? His little mind was full of questions — and worries. But one thing was clear: life was about to change.
The Day Baby Bunny Arrived
Then, one moonlit night, Mama Rabbit woke Little Rabbit gently. “It’s time,” she whispered, as Papa helped her prepare. Little Rabbit watched with wide eyes as his grandparents arrived to help, and soon, the burrow was buzzing with quiet excitement.
The next morning, Little Rabbit tiptoed into the nursery and saw the tiniest bunny he had ever seen. Wrapped in a soft carrot-patterned blanket, the new baby blinked sleepily at him. “This is your baby sister,” Mama said with a smile.
Little Rabbit felt a mixture of wonder and confusion. The baby was small and couldn’t play or talk. She mostly slept and cried. Still, something in Little Rabbit’s heart softened as he looked at her. She was part of their family now — and he was her big brother.
Learning to Be a Big Brother
In the days that followed, Little Rabbit faced a big adjustment. Mama and Papa were busier than ever. Sometimes they were too tired to play, and there were moments when Little Rabbit felt a bit lonely. He missed being the center of attention.
But as he watched his parents care for the baby, he began to understand that love doesn’t get smaller when it’s shared — it grows. He helped Mama bring diapers, sang songs to calm his sister when she cried, and even showed her how to hold a stuffed carrot toy.
Bit by bit, Little Rabbit began to find joy in his new role. He discovered that being a big brother meant being patient, kind, and brave. It also meant having someone to love — and someone who would one day look up to him the way he looked up to Papa.
A New Kind of Family
Over time, the burrow found a new rhythm. Baby Bunny began to smile and giggle, and Little Rabbit found new ways to make her laugh. Mama and Papa still made time for special moments with Little Rabbit, reminding him that he would always be their first little bunny.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the hill, Little Rabbit cuddled next to Mama while Baby Bunny snoozed nearby. “I think I like being a big brother,” he whispered. Mama kissed his ears and said, “And we love you more every day.”
