FROM MARGERY WILLIAMS, THE VELVETEEN RABBIT

"WHAT IS REAL?" ASKED THE RABBIT ONE DAY.. "DOES IT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE, OR BIT BY BIT?"
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE," SAID THE SKIN HORSE. "YOU BECOME. IT TAKES A LONG TIME. THAT'S WHY IT DOESN'T OFTEN HAPPEN TO PEOPLE WHO BREAK EASILY, OR HAVE SHARP EDGES, OR WHO HAVE TO BE CAREFULLY KEPT. GENERALLY, BY THE TIME YOU ARE REAL, MOST OF YOUR HAIR IS LOVED OFF, AND YOUR EYES DROP OUT AND YOU GET LOOSE IN THE JOINTS AND VERY SHABBY. BUT THESE THINGS DON'T MATTER AT ALL, BECAUSE ONCE YOU ARE REAL YOU CAN'T BE UGLY, EXCEPT TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND."
