Zamatový králik je príbehom hračky, vypchaného králika, ktorý sa túži stať ozajstným, čo sa mu vďaka láske jeho majiteľa, malého chlapca, aj vyplní. Keď chlapec ochorie na šarlach, všetky jeho hračky musia byť spálené. Vďaka ozajstnej slze králika vyrastie kvet, z ktorého vystúpi víla, aby ho zachránila a navyždy premenila na ozajstného - teraz už pre všetkých. Rozprávka zdôrazňuje a potvrdzuje hodnoty dobra, dôležitosť empatie a lásky k okolitému svetu.
