Once there was a rabbit and she had a girl.

The girl's name was Molly.

The rabbit was Emma Bean.

Emma Bean was born on a summer night when the air was whispery soft and the moon shone silver through the treetops.

It shone into a room where someone was sewing.

Snip, snip. Scissors cut up scraps of long-ago dresses.

Stitch, stitch. A needle shaped a body, head, arms, and legs.

Then came the stuffing, made of rags. Black buttons for eyes. Whiskers that curled up like a smile. And the longest, floppiest ears a rabbit ever had.

"There," said a quiet voice.

Hands held Emma Bean close, there in the dark with the moon making lacy patterns on the floor.

Creak, creak. They rocked and waited, rocked and waited.

从前有一只兔子，她有一个女孩。

这个女孩的名字叫莫莉。

这只兔子是艾玛比恩。

艾玛·比恩出生在一个夏夜，空气轻柔的低语，月光透过树梢发出银色的光芒。

它照进了有人正在缝制的房间。

剪，剪。 剪刀剪断了很久以前的衣服碎片。

缝，缝。 一根针塑造了身体、头部、手臂和腿。

然后是用破布制成的馅料。 眼睛的黑色按钮。 胡须像微笑一样蜷缩起来。 还有一只兔子有史以来最长、最松软的耳朵。

“在那里，”一个安静的声音说。

双手紧紧地握着艾玛比恩，在黑暗中，月亮在地板上制作花边图案。

吱吱，吱吱。 他们摇晃着等待，摇晃着等待。
