"I love you all the way down the lane to the river", cried Little Nutbrown Hare. " I love you across the river and over the hills", said Nutbrown Hare.That's very far, thought Little Nut brown Hare. He was almost too sleepy to think any more.. Finally he looked beyond the bushes out into the big dark night. Nothing could be further than the sky. " I love you right up to the MOON", he said and closed his eyes.. Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his soft bed of leaves. He leaned over and kissed him good night. Then he lay down and whispered with a smile, " I love you right upto the moon - AND BACK".. Godbless little boy.
