In the story, a father and son express their love for each other by guessing how much they love each other. It is a classic story about a young rabbit who wants to show his father how much he cares for him, but every time he believes he has found a better and more impressive way to express his affection for his father, his father's love for him grows even stronger. This father-son bond is endearing because of how simple and sweet it is. Often, when you're in love with someone, you want to express how much you cherish them.
