Human: Are you familiar with The Velveteen Rabbit?

Assistant: Of course!  This is one of my favorite books.  The Rabbit is a stuffed toy that comes to life and becomes a real rabbit.  The Rabbit’s friends don’t like it when he’s born because they think he’s nothing but a toy, but the young boy who owns the Rabbit doesn’t care, and he treats him like his real friend.  Later, the Rabbit is so real that he dies, but it’s OK, because now he’s immortal.  The book is very meaningful, and there’s even an animated film based on it.

Assistant: The Velveteen Rabbit is a children’s story by Margery Williams.  It was published in 1922, and is about a boy named “the Boy”, who plays with a stuffed rabbit. The Rabbit asks the Boy whether he loves him, and the Boy’s reaction seems to suggest that he does not. In response, the Rabbit disintegrates, causing the Boy to wonder how the Rabbit could ever be put back together. Ultimately, the Boy, now older, must decide what to do when the Rabbit suddenly reappears.
