The rabbit and the log house.

By:Stepan Eero

Once upon a time, there lived a rabbit. He lived happy and healthy in a log house with a fireplace. Every once in a while he would go out and cut some firewood from the forest. It was winter time, and he had to keep his log house warm. Rabbit also had a neighbor, fox. Rabbit didn’t like her for some reason, maybe because she was a greedy animal. She was not trustworthy and lied a lot. She always told lies, everything she would say was a lie. She had a house that was made out of big cold blue ice cubes. It was a beautiful house and rabbit was a little bit jealous. But he knew that his house was warm while her house was ice cold.

Time had passed and its spring. It’s getting warmer and warmer. Rabbit didn’t need to get much firewood anymore. But fox was upset because her house was melting away. It got smaller every day. Finally it was gone and fox had no where to live. So she thought of a trick. An evil trick. The week has passed and it was time for rabbit to get firewood. When he left his house and went into the woods fox sneaked into the house and locked the door. When rabbit came back, he saw fox’s tracks and was sad. He asked fox to get out of his house but she would not come out. Rabbit sat down by a tree and started crying. He cried and cried.

Suddenly a bull came along and he asked rabbit, “Why are you crying little rabbit?”

Rabbit answered, “The mean fox took over my house and I can’t get it back. I asked and I begged but the mean fox never came out!”

“That’s okay little rabbit I’ll get your house back.” So they went to the house and the bull said”Hey you, the mean fox, get out of the house before I come and get you out myself!”

The fox said”Go ahead and try.” So the bull went slamming into the door. The bull was hurt by a broom, thrown by the fox. He ran away crying. Rabbit sat down by the tree and continued crying. He cried and cried, but then a bear came by and saw poor little rabbit crying.

He asked”Why are you crying little rabbit?”

The rabbit said(crying)”Because the mean fox took over my house, I tried to get her out and so did a big brown bull.”

“That’s okay rabbit, I will try to get her out.”Bear said bravely.

“Ok, but the bull was big and mean. IF he couldn’t get her out, then I don’t think you have much of a chance.”

So the bear and the rabbit
