In this fanciful tale, a brown bear invites a rabbit to join him for a long winter nap. The lively little rabbit readily agrees but becomes fidgety as soon as the bear drops off to sleep. Unable to elicit more than a growl from his slumbering friend, the rabbit decides to rejoin the wide-awake world outside and tumbels merrily " in starlit somersaults downhill". And as often happens with many real life naps, this little rabbit stays wide awake.
