Just a quick post on this.
With ref to your last post if you are feeling old, I think I am entering my second childhood, actually 62!
This fable made me think of 'The velveteen rabbit or How toys become real' by Margery Williams 1880-1844, chidren's bedtime story. Do you know this?

There are versions to google on line.
Best wishes
