joe the rabbit

Once upon a time in a big forest lived a little rabbit
named Joe in his hole in the ground. Joe was a rather
small rabbit. He had long white ears and a pink nose.
His tail was brown for some reason...
Joe lived alone in his hole-in-the-ground. His parents
and brothers and sisters had all died.
Joe was afraid of everything. He was afraid of the
dark. He was afraid of ants. He was even afraid of the
other rabbits. That was why he lived far away from the
others. But his biggest fear was HUMANS!
He knew they were dangerous. That was the only thing
he remembered his mother telling him.
He had only seen a human once in his life, but he
still had the picture of the terrifying beast in his
head...
It was two years ago. He was outside his
hole-in-the-ground house, eating precious flowers and
grass, when a big mean human with gigantic shoes
almost stepped on him. The human didnīt even notice
Joe running in panic down his hole.
Joe shook his head to get the image out.
- Now Iīm hungry, he said to himself and climbed up to
the surface.
He just stood there for a while, smelling the sweet
sent of wet grass. He started eating. Grass. Green
grass, some yellow grass and some discusting brown
grass. Joe ate it all. After a while he saw something
shiny approximatly 100 feet away. He went to take a
look. When he got there the shiny object was gone, but
he could smell something strange. Something sticky.
He didnīt think anymore about it and continued his
eating. After a couple of minutes he heard strange
voices and seconds later, Joe the rabbit, was
surrounded by 5 - 17 big humans with motorsaws.
Of course the men didnīt care about Joe. All they
wanted was to cut down some trees. When Joe saw them
slaughtering the trees he quickly ran up a small
little tree, to young to be cut down. He sat in the
tree until the evening came. All the men were gone but
there was another problem. He didnīt know how to get
down! 
Iīm gonna fall, I`m  gonna fall, he thought all the
time. So he stayed in the tree and after a while he
fell asleep. He woke up in the middle of the night
when he heard a voice. A friendly voice. He crawled
out on a wrench to get a better view. In the moonlight
he saw someone standing under the tree.
He crawled longer out on the wrench to get an even
better view, but instead he fell on the ground right
infront of this mystic person. 
He was terrified! He was so afraid that he couldnīt
move. But then the person started talking to him in a
sweet voice. Joe opened his eyes and looked right into
the eyes of and old woman. 
This was not a bad human, he could see that in her
eyes. 
Then she did something with a staff that she held in
her hand. Joe saw a bright light and all of a sudden
he could speak! 
The old woman told Joe that she was a good fairy and
that Joe was granted a wish. He could wish anything,
she said. 
Joe thought for a while. First he wanted to be a
human. I could eat meat, drive cars and go to
rave-parties! he thought. But then he realized that
all he really wanted was to be a normal rabbit with
his family. That was the purpouse of his life. And
that was his wish. 

___________--------------POFF------------_____________

When Joe opened his eyes he was back in his
hole-in-the-ground house and there was his whole
family! Acting like nothing ever happened. Joe was so
happy. 
That night he fell asleep with his head on his mothers
stomach. He dreamt about


brown grass.
