How much can you love someone?
Little Nutbrown Hare wants to show
the size of his feelings.
But as Little Nutbrown Hare
and Big Nutbrown Hare discovered,
Love is not easy to measure!
Little Nutbrown Hare,
who was going to bed,
held on tight
to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.
He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening.
"Guess how much I love you," he said.
"Oh, I don't think I could guess that."
said Big Nutbrown Hare.
"This much," said Little Nutbrown Hare, stretching out his arms
as wide as they could go.
Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms:
"But I love you this much," he said.
"Hmm ... that is a lot!" Thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
I love you as high as I can reach,"
said Little Nutbrown Hare.
"I love you as high as I can reach,"
said Big Nutbrown Hare.
That is very high, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
I wish I had arms like that.
Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea. He tumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk with his feet.
"I love you all the way up to my toes!" he said.
"And I love you all the way up to your toes!" said Big Nutbrown Hare, swinging him up over his head.
"I love you as high as I can hop!"
laughed Little Nutbrown Hare, bouncing up and down.
"But I love you as high as I can hop!"
smiled Big Nutbrown Hare.
And he hopped so high that his ears touched the branches above.
That's good hopping, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
I wish I could hop like that.
"I love you all the way down the lane as far as the river",
cried Little Nutbrown Hare.
"I love you across the river and over the hills",
said Big Nutbrown Hare.
That's very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
He was almost too sleepy to think anymore.
Then he looked beyond the thornbushes,
out into the big dark night.
Nothing could be further than the sky.
"I love you right up to the the moon, he said, and closed his eyes.
Oh, tha's far, said Big Nutbrown Hare.
"That' is very, very far".
Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves.
He leaned over and kissed him goodnight.
Then she lay down close by and whispered with a smile,
"I love you right up to the moon ... and back."
