I am Real - Really !!!

I am Real

" What is real" asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day, when Hobbyhorse & Velveteen Rabbit were lying side by side, before Nana came to tidy up the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick -out handle?
" Real isnt how you are made up " said the Skin Hobby Horse." Its something that happens to you".When a child loves you for long , long time, not just play with you, but really loves you then you become real".

"Does it hurt", asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes" said the Skin Horse, as he was always truthful.When you are real, you dont mind being hurt.
"it doesnt happen all at once", said the Skin Horse.


"You become real, it takes long time. That's why it doesnt happen to people who break, or have sharp edges, or have carefully kept their treasure of self & love. Generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out, you can be shabby & maybe penniless by then. But things dont matter at all, because once you are real, you cannot be ugly at all,except to people who dont understand

I am Real... Thought the Velveteen rabbit and So did I :)
