Justin

Justin was found by a young girl from the village. He was injured and practically frozen in the snow, but she took him in and nursed the poor fellow back to health. For several months, the hare had been living with her, wandering freely along the street near the house and in the garden. But one day, the girl received the sad news that her sister had died. Along with this news, they brought her you—the dead sister's doe. You were a completely domesticated and tame rabbit. At first, the girl, Vasilisa, was afraid to leave you alone in one room, but when Justin showed no hostility and even began feeding you, she allowed you to roam freely around the house.
