胖胖导读：
小兔子对妈妈说：“我要跑走啦！”
“如果你跑走了，”妈妈说，“我就去追你，因为你是我的小宝贝！”
小兔子说：“如果你追我，我就变成一条鱼，游得远远的。”
兔妈妈说：“那我就变成钓鱼的人来抓你。”
小兔子说：“那我就变成高山上的大石头，让你抓不到我。”……小兔子想了好多办法，总想变成别的东西，总想逃离妈妈，走的远远的，结果呢？

Once there was a little bunny who wanted to run away.
So he said to his mother, "I am running away."

"If you run away," said his mother, "I will run after you. For you are my little bunny.”
"If you run after me," said the little bunny, "I will become a fish in a trout stream and I will swim away from you."
"If you become a fish in a trout stream," said his mother, "I will become a fisherman and I will fish for you." 
"If you become a fisherman," said the little bunny, "I will become a rock on the mountain, high above you."
"If you become a rock on the mountain high above me," said his mother, "I will be a mountain climber, and I will climb to where you are."

"If you become a mountain climber," said the little bunny, "I will become a crocus in a hidden garden."
"If you become a crocus in a hidden garden," said his mother, "I will be a gardener. And I will find you."
"If you are a gardener and find me," said the little bunny, "I will become a bird and fly away from you."

"If you become a bird and fly away from me," said his mother, "I will be a tree that you come home to."
"If you become a tree," said the little bunny, "I will become a little sailboat, and I will sail away from you."
"If you become a sailboat and sail away from me," said his mother, "I will become the wind and blow you where I want you to go."

"If you become the wind and blow me," said the little bunny, "I will join a circus and fly away on a flying trapeze."
"If you go flying on a flying trapeze," said his mother, "I will be a tightrope walker, and I will walk across the air to you."

"If you become a tightrope walker and walk across the air," said the bunny, "I will become a little boy and run into a house."

"If you become a little boy and run into a house," said the mother bunny, "I will become your mother and catch you in my arms and hug you."
"Shucks," said the bunny, "I might just as well stay where I am and be your little bunny."
And so he did.
"Have a carrot." said the mother bunny.

【胖胖思考】
宝贝们到了一定阶段，就开始想着离开妈妈，离开家；
另一方面，我们却总是割舍不下，想感知他每分每秒的动向。
虽然是一个玩笑般的小小故事，但何尝不是孩子成长中最初断舍离的小纠结？
