The rabbit and the cat

There is a forest. A magical forest. And although it is not a large forest, it is big enough to get lost inside for a little while. I can not tell you which forest it is, but it could even be that this is a forest very close to you. And animals are living in the forest, too. Deers and badgers and birds and foxes and hedgehogs and many, many more. This little story is just about two of them: A rabbit and a cat. 

A long time ago they were living in that forest. Untamed. Unnamed. Without knowing eachother.

The day they met they just looked eachother in the eyes for a second or two. And then they went their ways. This happened quite a few times. Stopping, looking, leaving. Until one day when they looked at eachother like every other day. But something must have been different that day. Maybe it was the wind blowing through the leaves of the trees surrounding them creating a gentle noise. Or it was the sunrays shining through the boughs creating patterns on their fur. That day they did not go away. 

The rabbit and the cat started to dance. First shy and clumsy. Leaving a big gap in between of them. But then they became faster and stronger. Moving towards each other. Slowly, with their eyes closed, an unknown melody playing in their minds.

They were dancing until the next morning. Without a single touch. Exhausted but euphoric they opened their eyes, stopped dancing and stared at each other for a moment. Both with a little smile on their lips. Then, within the same second, they took a step foreward. Towards each other. And the warm light of the rising sun was shining on the rabbit and the cat as they melted in a tender embrace.

On that day the rabbit and the cat became friends. Running through the forest, collecting clover and sitting on trees chatting. And from time to time they where still doing their crazy dance. Hugging and kissing each other till dawn...

Today, on sunny days with a little breeze, when you are listening very closely, you can hear the song of the rabbit and the cat echoing between the trees. And if you look closely at the patterns the sun is drawing on the forest floor, you can still see them dancing.
