The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit
(First published in 1906)
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
tear
