Rafi the rabbit was on his way to school, wearing wide pants with a flower pattern, a tight-fitting shirt, so short that it showed his belly, his greatest pride, blue flip-flops, a burlap backpack, and big, cute pink headphones! He was singing and dancing with his feet close together, hopping and spinning around, but he only did it when he felt the music. The rest of the way, he walked upright, but he swayed his hips like his friend, whom he called princess. When he arrived at his spot, his friend Pig, all snub-nosed, very fat and hairy, would join the group. Rabbit always called her «my beautiful princess,» and that’s how Pig looked. Snake, thin and chatterbox, always spoke like a real charmer. Rabbit said that even Don Juan would envy his friend because all the girls in the group fell for him. Another friend was the limping little duck, with very short legs and a tail so big that it made walking not very easy. Rabbit’s boyfriend also awaited him, and when he saw Rabbit, the porcupine always sighed. A group of somewhat peculiar friends who felt proud of their exclusive friendship. They left glances wherever they walked, proud to be unique, free, and beautiful. Most importantly, they accepted each other just as they were. Each had many talents; for example, Rabbit danced, jumped, and spun his feet like a top. No musical genre seemed difficult to him. Pig loved to model; she felt she garnered looks and sighs as she walked down the runway. They truly admired her unique way of walking. Snake knew how to recite very well, a skill he used to make everyone fall in love. The small and somewhat coquettish duck talked non-stop, always saying that she wanted to graduate as a journalist and that she would surely succeed. Porcupine, Rabbit’s boyfriend, just wanted to cook. Valuable friends who know how to accept the best in each other without criticizing. Now, I come to tell you, how much do I accept myself, and what does this happy group teach me? Each being so unique and original without fear of what others may say or of failing.
