The Six Rabbits

| There was once a little boy who
had a dog and some pups. He had
three pups and six rabbits and an
old rabbit. He would let them out
to play every day
The pups would go out and get
things for them to eat. and tease
the rabbits with it.
Every time they ate, the boy and
his sister would watch them. When
the rabbits got through they would
go and hide from the pups. They
could not find them. When they
found them they would hide.
When the boy would hold the
pups the rabbits would run around
and want him to hold them too.
Then he would take them and
they would play. When he would
put them down they would get in
chair and play until dark and at
seven o'clock he would put them to
bed.
When it was morning he would
wash them and give them their
breakfast. They would play all
day. When they got tired they
would go in the house and sleep
till supper was ready. Then they
would go. to bed. Sometimes it
would be six o'clock when they got
up. Sometimes they would pretend
that they were sick and wouldn't
get up. Sometimes the pups and
the rabbits quarreled and they
would pull and bite each others
ears. The rabbits would pull the
pups tails and the pups would bite
the rabbits ears. They would
make up after a while because a
cloud will not always last. There
has to be some sunshine. And in
a little while they were all frisk-
ing about in the grass having a
fine time.
Sometimes they would pretend
they were mad and would not play
together.
One day the pups disappeared and
the rabbits could not find them
anywhere. The rabbits hunted
around for a long time. Pretty
soon they saw the pups coming.
They jumped around and went to
meet them. They were glad to see
the pups. The pups led them away
to a stump and when they got
there they saw the stump was
filled with good things to eat.
They had bread, potatoes, meat
bone and clover. They played
around the log for a long time.
When they went home the boy did
not know what to think, when they
did not eat anything for supper. He
did not know they had had a party.
The rabbits and pups dreamed of
1t that night. The next day they
went to the stump and played till
dark, then they went home and
played on chair till bedtime
