The Story:
"While shopping with her rabbit family, Rosie
notices that another rabbit mother does not buy her
child a cupcake treat. When Rosie asks her own
mother why not, Mama suggests that the other family
may not have the money. Later, Mama proposes that
Rosie give some extra toys and clothes to poor
rabbits. The hard puzzle and the ugly doll are easy
to give, but Rosie struggles when it comes to giving
up items she loves."
