A Graduation Gift

It was a warm spring day. The sunlight shone on two little girls playing on the vast green fields of the Qin Residence courtyard. The little ladies had a white rabbit with red eyes frolicking about. They were absolutely thrilled at the furry creature.

"Look at her, Cassandra! My dad gave her to me. She's so cute! She even understands what I say!"

Little Courtney proudly boasted to her friend while stroking the rabbit's soft fur.

Little Cassandra also reached out to feel the creature's soft fur. It was so smooth and warm. It hopped around them playfully.

"What are you doing? Why didn't any of you tell me you were playing here?"

Another girl's voice sounded from a distance. The two girls raised their heads and saw that it was Little Cloris.

She was wearing a white lace dress, with a cute pink hairpin on her hair, making her look like a little princess.

Courtney immediately became nervous upon laying eyes on Cloris. She had a lot of food and toys that Cloris often took away from her. This rabbit was a present from her father, and she didn't want Cloris to take it away.

Courtney bent over and covered the rabbit with her arms protectively, while defiantly staring at Cloris.

As Cloris approached, her eyes darted to the rabbit in Courtney's arms. Her eyes lit up as she went closer.

"Oh my God! A bunny! It's so cute! Can I join you?"

After she spoke, her hand shot out to scoop the rabbit from Courtney without waiting for her permission. Courtney swiftly ducked to avoid her.

"My dad gave it to me. Don't take it!"

Courtney emphasized that her father gave her the rabbit over and over again. She was so worried that Cloris would take the rabbit away like she did with her other toys.

"I just want to hold it in my arms! I want to play with it!"

Cloris didn't give up so easily. Instead, she walked forward closer and closer, fully intending to rob Courtney of the fluffy creature.

Courtney turned around and ran to the nearby corner, looking back at Cloris every once in a while warily.

She would never give the rabbit to Cloris! If she did, Cloris would consider it her own. She would lose her rabbit then!

The rabbit was a present from her father. No one could ever take it away!

Seeing Courtney run away, Cloris vented her anger on the nearby Cassandra.

"Take the bunny for me! I want to play with it!"
