The Little Rabbit's Home

Once there was a little rabbit, who wanted to build a home. The little rabbit went to the wide grassy fields. “Surely there is a place for a rabbit to build his home here,” he said.
But a man came up to him and said, “Little rabbit, what are you doing here? This is my home. Now run along, before I gobble you up for my dinner.” The little rabbit gasped, and ran away.
The little rabbit ran north, to where the snow falls all year. “My, my, it’s so cold here, I’d best change my fur,” he said, and put on his warm white coat. “Now, surely there is a place for a rabbit to build his home here.”
As he started to look, a bear came up to him and said, “Little rabbit, what are you doing here? This is my home. Now run along, before I gobble you up for my dinner.” The little rabbit gasped, and ran away.
The little rabbit ran south, to where the sand covers the ground. “My, my, it’s so warm here, I’d best change my fur,” he said, and put on his cool tan coat. “Now, surely there is a place for a rabbit to build his home here.”
As he started to look, an eagle came up to him and said, “Little rabbit, what are you doing here? This is my home. Now run along, before I gobble you up for my dinner.” The little rabbit gasped, and ran away.
The little rabbit ran west, to where the rocks pile high into the sky. “My, my, it’s so windy here, I’d best change my fur,” he said, and put on his thick grey coat. “Now, surely there is a place for a rabbit to build his home here.”
As he started to look, a dwarf came up to him and said, “Little rabbit, what are you doing here? This is my home. Now run along, before I gobble you up for my dinner.” The little rabbit gasped, and ran away.
“Now where do I go?” the rabbit asked. “It seems everyone has built homes already, and there’s nowhere left for me.” The little rabbit was sad. Suddenly, he had an idea. He began to dig a hole. He dug and he dug and he dug, and went far underground. “I can live here!” the little rabbit exclaimed. “This is the perfect home for me.”
And to this day, that is why little rabbits live underground.
