Red ones and blue ones and green ones...

Do you remember that part in Of Mice and Men, where Lenny is begging to hear the story about the rabbits on the farm that they're going to have someday? He just keeps asking to hear about the rabbits... the red ones and blue ones and green ones, because he desperately needs something to look forward to in life. He asks George to tell him the story periodically and the last time is just before George shoots Lenny in the head. I'm not asking to be shot by any stretch of the imagination, but I'd really love to have someone tell me about the rabbits. I am in desperate need of something to look forward to...
