The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit

     This is a fierce bad Rabbit; look at
his savage whiskers and his claws and
his turned-up tail.

This is a nice gentle Rabbit. His
mother has given him a carrot.

The bad Rabbit would like some
carrot.

He doesn’t say “Please.” He takes it!

And he scratches the good Rabbit
very badly.

The good Rabbit creeps away and
hides in a hole. It feels sad.

This is a man with a gun.

He sees something sitting on a
bench. He thinks it is a very funny
bird!

He comes creeping up behind the
trees.

And then he shoots—BANG!

This is what happens—

But this is all he finds on the bench
when he rushes up with his gun.

     The good Rabbit peeps out of its
hole...

... and it sees the bad Rabbit
tearing past—without any tail or
whiskers!
