Funny enough, you both got the same word wrong, but catnapper, who guessed first, got it right, so she's the winner!

The whole correct quote:

You have all heard the story that God created Dog to teach humankind
unconditional love, and then created Cat to keep humans humble. Well, I
would add that horses were created to help mankind and to strengthen its
character, that birds were created to teach humans to wake up singing,
and that rabbits - well we were created to teach humans two things.
First that quiet does not equal stupid, and second, that humans cannot
know everything. The mind of a rabbit will always hold some secrets
people will never discern.

Miss Hoppy has wanted to clarify that old folktale for quite some time.

Congratulations to catnapper!
