Runner Rabbit – Character Insight
Hi there, friends! Let me tell you about a very special rabbit named Runner. Runner is a lot like us; he has problems too. But guess what? Runner has a funny way of dealing with his troubles. Instead of looking them in the eye, he wiggles his nose, flicks his ears, and zooms off as fast as he can!
Sometimes, when we run from our problems, they grow like giant carrots! That’s what happens with Runner. The more he runs, the bigger the problems get. Uh-oh!
But don’t worry, Runner isn’t alone. He has a best friend named Rita Rabbit. Rita is super smart and kind. She always tries to help Runner with good advice.
Runner, though, just shakes his head and says, “No, no, Rita. I’ll just run!” Silly Runner, right? Rita hopes that one day, Runner will stop running and listen to her advice. And we hope so too!
In Storyland, there are so many adventures about Runner and Rita. You can read them, giggle, and even share them with your friends. Each story is a fun new adventure where Runner learns a little more about not running away.
So, hop on in and join Runner Rabbit on his funny, hoppy adventures in Storyland!
