The Story of A Fierce Bad Rabbit

　　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!
