Blue Rabbit slept in a very big bed with a very big pillow. But Blue Rabbit didn't feel lost in his very big bed because every night he had his Boy to cuddle. Blue Rabbit loves his Boy, and his Boy loves him! But one day Boy disappears and Blue Rabbit spends all of his time looking for Boy everywhere. His friends help him, but Boy is nowhere to be found. Gradually Blue Rabbit's eyes lose their sparkle, and his whiskers droop. Where on earth can Boy be? But finally Boy appears - sunburnt and happy, and the two friends are reunited.
