A Wrong Blessing, Rewarded by Kindness

Kindness wins despite a wrong lucky phrase.

In folk custom, saying “rabbit rabbit” as your first words upon waking on the first day of every month brings good fortune for the whole month. On the morning of June 1st, the protagonist accidentally said “bunny bunny” instead of the lucky phrase. He paid no extra thought to it, went about his usual routine of washing up, waiting for the bus, and heading to school.

Just then, a little rabbit popped its head out, making him increasingly anxious. He feared that mispronouncing the blessing would bring bad luck.

After arriving at school, he was suddenly surrounded by a crowd, his heart filled with panic.
His mind raced to recent events: a few days earlier, he had found his neighbor’s wallet on the roadside and returned it only in the evening, leaving a faint sense of unease. He also remembered he had neglected to pick up trash he’d seen at a nearby crossroads.

At that moment, the little rabbit called over a white rabbit to watch the scene.

The person leading the crowd told him they were there to present him with a Good Person Award. It turned out the protagonist had quietly done countless kind deeds all along: regularly picking up most roadside trash and throwing it into bins, greeting strangers politely on buses, treating neighbors with warmth, and returning the lost wallet after his neighbor finished work. He never called himself a volunteer, simply viewing these as small, ordinary gestures. Day by day, his tiny acts of kindness had not gone unnoticed by those around him, and he unexpectedly received this honor today.

The white rabbit nodded gently, then hopped away with the little one.

The crowd dispersed soon after, and the protagonist went to class as usual. Life went on as normal, and the earth kept spinning.

By the way, feeling sorry for the two rabbits wandering by the road, the protagonist took them in. Like everyone else, he experienced joys, sorrows, anger and worries each day.
