"But..my rabbit is white...."

I was teaching my primary 1 students to draw rabbit this week.

And one student in particular refuse to colour his rabbit.

I asked him why.

He replied.

"...my rabbit is white..."

I tried to convince him that this rabbit he draws is a magical one...

"This is a special rabbit in wonderland...and you can colour whatever colour you like."

"But...my rabbit is white"

...almost in tears....as he tries to explain to me why he can't colour his rabbit.


What can I say.

In the end, I made him colour all the rest of the things in his drawings...the grass...the clouds...the sun, the flowers...and leave his rabbit PURE WHITE...

As he happily did.
