Guess how much I love you
By Sam McBratney
Little Nut Brown Hare🐇, who was going to bed, held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.
He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening.
"Guess how much i love you," he said.
"Oh, I don't think I could guess that,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.
"This much,"said Little Nutbrown Hare,stretching out his arms as wide as they could go.
Bid Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms."But I love YOU this much," he said.
Hmmm,that is a lot thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Little Nutbrown Hare.
"I love you as High as I can reach,"said Big Nutbrown HAre.
That is quite high, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish I had arms like that.
Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea.He tumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk with his feet.
" I love you all the way up to my toes!" he said.
"And I love you all the way up to your toes," said Big Nutbrown Hare,swinging him up over his head.
" I love you as high as i can HOP!" laughed Little Nutbrown Hare,bouncing up and down.
"But I love you as high as I can hop," smiled Big Nutbrown hare-and he hopped so high that his ears touched the branches above.
Thats good hopping,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.I wish I could hop like that.
"I love you all the way down the lane as far as the river," cried Little Nutbrown Hare.
That's very far,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
He was almost too sleepy to think anymore.
Then he looked beyond the thorn bushes,out into the big dark night.
Nothing could be further than the sky.
"I love you right up to the MOON," he said,and closed his eyes.
"Oh,that's far"said Big Nut Brown Hare."Thats is very far."
Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare into his bed of leaves.
He leaned over and kissed him good night.
Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile,"I love you right up to the moon-AND BACK."

Listen to an amazing Stevie Wonder's song. He sings about why he calls his sweetheart, just to say I love you.
He also innumerates the things which are not the reasons for his call.
Every month of the year is either mentioned or inferred in this song.
I just call to say I love you
No New Year's Day 🎄to celebrate
No chocolate 🍫 covered candy hearts 💕 to give away
No first of spring 🌱
No song to sing 🎶
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain ☔️
No flowers bloom 🌷
No wedding 👰 Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you 💕
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you 💕
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart ❤️
No summer's high ☀
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night 🌙
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves🍂
Not even time for birds 🦆to fly to southern skies
No Libra ♎️ sun
No Halloween 🎃
No giving thanks to all the Christmas 🎄 joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart❤️ like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you💕
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you💕
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart❤️
