  1. The Rabbit

    Share Share Post
    The rabbit is another wild animal. It is like a cat and about the same size.
    Its food consists of green grass and turnips. On this account it does a lot of damage on the farmer because it eats a great deal of his turnips.
    Its meat is very sweet and nearly everybody likes it. Rich men shoot it for food. A burrow is is dwelling place.
