Things You Learn From Children's Books #1 (Guess How Much I Love You)


Synopsis:Little Nutbrown Hare and Big Nutbrown Hare compete to show who loves the other more by comparing their love to progressively larger and larger things.

Example

  • Little nut brown hare: "I love you as high as I can hop"
  • Big Nutbrown Hare: "I love you as much as I can hop" (and Big Nutbrown Hare jumps higher.)
Climax: Little Nutbrown Hare says "I love you right up to the moon" and then falls asleep. Big Nutbrown Hare then whispers "I love you right up to the moon and back".

Lesson: You can never win against your parents.
