Fluffy Bunny Rabbit
|
|
After a long day at the office, Chris came home one day
and found his dog with the neighbor’s pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit was
obviously dead. Chris panicked!“
If my neighbors find out my dog killed their bunny,
they’ll hate me forever,” he thought. So he took the dirty, chewed up rabbit
into the house, gave it a bath and blow-dried its fur.
Chris knew his neigbors kept their backdoor open during
the summer, so he sneaked inside and put the bunny back into the cage, hoping
his neighbors would think it died of natural causes.
A couple of days later Chris and his neighbor saw each
other outside.“
Did you hear that Fluffy die?” the neighbor asked.“
Oh. Uhmm.. Sorry to hear that. What happened?” Chris
mumbled. The neighbor replied, “we just found him dead in his cage one day.
But the strange thing is that the day after we buried him, we went out to
dinner and someone must have dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back
into the cage!”
