Real isn't how you are made, said the skin horse, it's a thing that happens to you when a child loves you for a long, long time not just to play with but really loves you then you become real.

Does it hurt? asked the rabbit. Oh yeah, that's why it doesn't happen to those who break easily or have sharp edges or who have to be very carefully handled.

Generally by the time you are real most of your hair has been loved off and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and you look very shabby but these things don't matter at all because once you're real you can't be ugly except to people who don't understand.

When you're real you can take being hurt. Fairy tale stuff, no nothing more practical than this, nothing more practical.
