The Runaway Runaway Bunny

...

"If you become a little boy and run into a house," said the mother bunny, "I will become your mother and catch you in my arms."

"If you become my mother and catch me in your arms," said the bunny, "I will become a little plush toy owned by a three-year-old and she'll leave me in a parking lot somewhere in Seattle and her mommy and daddy won't be able to find me ever again."

"If you become a plush toy," began the mother bunny, but then she stopped because she really had nothing to say to that.
