The Orphan


An infant rabbit was orphaned.  Fortunately though, a family of 
squirrels took it in and raised it as if it were one of their own.
This adoption led to some peculiar behaviors on the part of the 
rabbit, including a tendency for it to eschew jumping but rather 
to embrace running around like its foster-siblings.

As the rabbit passed through puberty, however, it soon faced an 
identity crisis (don't we all!).  It went to its foster parents 
to discuss the problem.

It allowed as to how it felt different from its foster siblings, 
was unsure of its place in the universe, and was generally 
forlorn.

Their response was, ... "Don't scurry.  Be hoppy."
