About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Rabbit and the Moonflower. When Rami the Rabbit notices that every burrow in Moonflower Meadow seems to grow the rare glowing moonflower except his own, he begins to feel that his little home simply isn't special. He sets off across the meadow one evening to find a moonflower of his own to plant, certain that this will fix the empty feeling inside him. Along the way, tired paws and a wise old tortoise help him see the blessings he has been hopping right past all along. By the end, Rami discovers that the meadow's rarest, brightest moonflower has been growing by his own burrow the whole time — he simply hadn't stopped long enough to look, or to say الْحَمْدُ لِلَّه, all praise is for Allah, for what was already his.
