One day there were three owners and they had a bunny and one day, one of the owners named Tamykah came out to feed it. But it was gone and she went to tell Jessie.

“Jessie, I told you the latch was loose!” Tamykah still clutched the bunny’s food. The three wilting cabbage leaves seemed to add to her misery.

“We’ll never find Rufus now!”

“Come on you guys”, said Amber, ‘Stop sooking and let’s go and look.” They looked down the driveway and across the road and down to the river. They saw a dog with Rufus in his mouth. Was it too late to save Rufus?

I’m afraid it was too late.

The three girls were very sad. Poor Rufus was dead.

“Holey, Moley,” said Amber.

“What should we do?” wailed Tamykah.

“I have an idea,” said Jessie, “Run for your lives!”

‘Oh No! It’s dead,’ cried Tamykah

‘It will be Okay’ said Amber, ‘It’s your birthday soon and I will get you another one.’

‘Just like Rufus?’ asked Tamykah. She was fond of her rabbit.

‘Yes, just like Rufus,’ said Amber.

Jessie comforted Tamykah all the way home.

Not long after, the girls did get another rabbit. They loved him and looked after him very carefully. They were all happy again.
