Little Rabbit was very proud*.
One day, Little Rabbit met Little Tortoise. Little Rabbit said,“Look, I have got a white coat, two long ears and two red eyes. How beautiful I am! You only have a hard and an ugly* shell*. No one likes you.”
Little Tortoise said,“You are so proud. No one likes a proud rabbit.”
Little Rabbit said, “Everybody likes me.”
Little Tortoise asked, “Can you prove* it?”
Little Rabbit said, “Of course, I can.”
Little Tortoise said, “OK. Take the hand of Mimosa*. And see whether Mimosa is willing to make friends with you.*”
When Little Rabbit touched Mimosa’s leaves, the Mimosa lowered his head and all his leaves folded up.* Little Rabbit’s face turned red and he was not proud any more.

Take the hand of Mimosa. And see whether Mimosa is willing to make friends with you.
牵含羞草的手，看含羞草是否愿意和你交朋友。
When Little Rabbit touched Mimosa’s leaves, the Mimosa lowered his head and all his leaves folded up.
小兔子刚触摸到含羞草的叶子，含羞草就低下了头，所有的叶子也都合拢了起来。
含羞草是真的不愿意和骄傲的小兔子做朋友吗？
原来，含羞草的叶子和叶柄具有特殊的结构。在叶柄基部和复叶的小叶基部，都有一个比较膨大的部分，叫叶枕。叶枕里水分充足，经常膨胀得鼓鼓的，而且有很大的压力。当叶子受到触碰时，震动会传给叶枕，叶枕下部细胞里的水分就会向上部和两侧流去，叶枕上部鼓起，下部凹陷，于是叶子便向上合拢，叶柄垂下去。刺激之后，稍过一段时间，一切又慢慢恢复正常，叶子又展开了，叶柄又竖立起来了。
含羞草的老家在热带南美洲的巴西，那里常有大风大雨。每当第一滴雨打着叶子时，它的叶片便立即闭合，叶柄下垂，以躲避狂风暴雨对它的伤害。另外，含羞草的“害羞”反应还是一种自卫方式。动物稍一碰它，它就合拢叶子，这样动物也就不敢吃它了。
故事里的小乌龟真聪明，借用含羞草好好教育了骄傲的小兔子。
