Life as an Animal
I giggled. I trotted outside with a cup of rabbit food.
"Hey Elijah!" I greeted the white rabbit spotted with black brown dots. I poured the food into his bowl.
"How are you doing?" I said with a smile as I patted him. "You know, sometimes I wish I can be an animal and talk to you," I said. The rabbit cocked his head. "Don't you wish you can be human?" I continued, "See life through our eyes? I wish i can see life through your eyes."
Elijah seemed to nod. He turned around and dug his head into his bowl and ate his food.
I giggled again. "I gotta get inside, Elijah! Bye!" I patted him with a smile and locked his cage before I took off.

.:Next Day:.
I yawned, stretching my front legs. Wait a minute! Front legs!? I looked down, screaming. Well, not exactly screaming, it was really high pitch, maybe not audible to human ears.
Anyway, I was a rabbit! A rabbit! I looked over to the clock. It was only 4AM. I swiftly jumped out of bed, racing to the kitchen.
I found myself jumping on the counter and then jumping to the doorknob to get outside. That went on for a while...
By the time I got outside, it was already 5AM. I ran towards Elijah's cage.
"Elijah! Elijah!" I screamed in panic. I didn't know who else to go to. Elijah looked over to me.
"What?" He asked as if it were nothing.
I couldn't believe it. My rabbit. Talking. My rabbit! I wanted to faint. Maybe it just was that I understood him for the first time. Yeah, that's all.
"What's going on!?" I asked (more like demanded) in a whiny voice. "How did I become this?"
"It's nothing," Elijah said casually. I was really confused. I almost hope this is a dream!
"And because I said so," Elijah joked. He smiled. "No, I wished it," He said, correcting himself.
"How?" I said, still frightened at the situation at hand... no, paw.
"Yesterday was my birthday."
My head perked up. His birthday?
"I'm 4 years old now. For the past 3 years, my wishes have come true. It was true magic. Two years ago, I was adopted by you. A year ago, I was able to meet some new friends. Those dogs your uncle owned, were they? And this year, I wanted to do something for you. I never thought it would actually work," He smiled. Then Elijah frowned,"When I was a kitten, I wasn't so lucky..."
I beamed. Who cares if he hadn't been lucky the first time? Maybe karma felt bad for him and decided to let his wishes come true. Anyway... He really cared about me! I knew taking him from the shelter three years ago was the right choice!
We smiled.

"Elijah, Thank you!"

For you people who don't understand, Karma is when bad things happen to you and you get something good later on (or something like that). When Elijah said "When I was a kitten, I wasn't so lucky...", he meant when he was a baby. Kitten means baby rabbit as well as other animals.
