The country rabbit
and the town rabbit

A country rabbit lives in the countryside. He likes to eat fruits. He is happy.

One day, his cousin comes from the town.

The country rabbit gathers many fruits for the town rabbit, but the town
rabbit does not like fruit. “This food is horrible!” he says. “Come to the town
with me, life in town is much more fun.”

So, the country rabbit follows his cousin to the town.

They come to a big house.

The town rabbit leads the country rabbit to a dinning room. The table is covered with food.
They start to eat up the food. The country rabbit is happy. “This food is delicious!” he says.
Suddenly, there is a noise.

The rabbits run to hide behind the food. “Keep very still,” says the town rabbit.
The country rabbit is very afraid. A dog comes into the room. He looks around the room.

The dog jumps up on the table. “Run!” cries the town rabbit.

“Good-bye, cousin” says the country rabbit. “I am going back to the country.
There, it is quiet and safe.”

Moral of the story : It is better to live a simple,
quiet life than a rich, dangerous one.
