Guess How Much I Love You

## Guess How Much I Love You: The Starry Meadow Twist In a cozy burrow under a sprawling oak tree, Little Nutbrown Hare was getting ready for bed. The warm glow of fireflies danced around, casting a magical light all over their snug home. Big Nutbrown Hare tucked Little Nutbrown Hare in with a gentle smile. "Guess how much I love you," Little Nutbrown Hare whispered, with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes. Big Nutbrown Hare chuckled, leaning in closer. "Oh, I don't think I could guess that." Little Nutbrown Hare stretched his arms as wide as they could go. "I love you this much!" Big Nutbrown Hare smiled, "Well, I love you this much!" He stretched his own arms even wider. Little Nutbrown Hare thought for a moment and then hopped up high. "I love you as high as I can hop!" Big Nutbrown Hare, being much bigger, hopped even higher. "And I love you as high as *I* can hop!" Little Nutbrown Hare's eyes sparkled with determination. He looked around their cozy burrow, filled with trinkets and little wonders from their adventures, then he had an idea. "Let's go outside!" Curious, Big Nutbrown Hare followed Little Nutbrown Hare out into the starry meadow. The sky was a canvas of twinkling stars and the moon shone brightly. "I love you to the top of those trees!" Little Nutbrown Hare pointed to the tallest tree. Big Nutbrown Hare gazed up thoughtfully. "And I love you to the top of the mountains beyond those trees." Not to be outdone, Little Nutbrown Hare lay down on the cool grass, where the fireflies zipped around in a joyful dance. "I love you as far as those stars!" Big Nutbrown Hare lay beside him, looking up at the vast sky. "And I love you all the way to the moon." Little Nutbrown Hare's eyes began to close, feeling the comforting warmth of Big Nutbrown Hare next to him. He yawned and murmured, "That's far." Big Nutbrown Hare gently whispered, "Yes, it is very far." He watched as Little Nutbrown Hare dreamily drifted off to sleep, feeling safe and loved. And just before Little Nutbrown Hare fell into a deep slumber, he whispered one last time, "All the way to the moon... and back." Big Nutbrown Hare kissed him gently on the forehead. "All the way to the moon... and back," he echoed softly. And so, under the starlit sky in the heart of the serene meadow, Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare shared a profound, endless love, echoing the melody of the night and the whispers of the wind. They dreamed together, bound by the immeasurable warmth of their love, ready for tomorrow’s new adventures.
