raab and the cows

a long time ago I had a blog on myspace where I wrote these autobiographical stories about a bunny named raab. I found some of them on my hard drive and thought I would share them with you- see if you can spot what the animals symbolize:

RAAB AND THE COWS:

once upon a time, in the land of cows,
there was a brown rabbit named raab.
raab lived in a big tree for a long time.
and raab loved God
and raab loved to tell the calves in the land of cows stories about God.
every week, raab would meet the calves in the church in the land of cows
and tell them stories about God.


raab had many adventures with the calves in the land of cows
and he became friends with many of them.

in time, raab the rabbit felt that God was moving him out of the land of cows
and into a land of cats-
raab the rabbit was very sad to leave the calves in the land of cows,
but he knew it was the right thing to do.


so raab moved out of his big tree and traveled a long way away to the land of cats.
the land of cats was a beautiful place.
raab moved into a little rabbit hole near a beautiful pond.
when raab went to the church of cats, he met the group of kittens that were there.


the kittens were frisky, wild and untamed.
these kittens would wrestle each other
and dig their claws into the walls of the church and sometimes into each other!

raab the rabbit discovered that kittens are harder to gather than cows-
raab the rabbit thought to himself,
"these kittens are going to turn my brown fur grey!"


the kittens were a little confused about raab- they thought he was a jewish rabbit-
so whenever they saw him they called him "raab-the-rabbi-rabbit;"
when they got mad at him, they would say:
"raab-the-rabbi-rabbit- dag-nabbit!"

raab never understood why they thought he was a rabbi-
he wasn't a jewish bunny-
but in time, the name stuck and he would answer to it.


when raab entered the land of cats, he was sad, because he missed his friends the calves-
but those frisky kittens of the land of cats grew on him-
and he soon discovered that he loved them very much too.
they reminded him of his friends the cows
and they helped take away his sadness of missing them.

one summer day raab went to his favorite place to think and be quiet in the land of cats.
and there, he thought to himself:
"telling stories to calves seemed to be so much easier than telling stories to kittens.

 "these kittens are wild and untamed, but I love them so much-

"telling stories to kittens isn't always easy, but it always is fun!
"I think I'm going to enjoy myself here in the land of cats."

 and so began the adventures of raab-the-rabbi-rabbit in the land of cats.

in the days to come, he would tell the kittens many stories and take them to many places,
and meet many new animals along the way.
raab the rabbit would even see some of the kittens grow into cats-
and yes, his brown fur began to grow grey.
raab stayed in contact with some of the cows-

especially the red-bulls.
