laughing. The rabbit was
more humiliated that he
had ever been in his life.

115. At home…
His parents said
“You have to get a
diploma or other
rabbits are going
to get
ahead of you.”
I don’t like school… I
just want to be free….

116. At school at the counselor's office…
The rabbit told the counselor that he
doesn’t want to go to school anymore and
the reasons behind it.
“Rabbit, I tell you you’re good at running.
I don’t know why you need to work on
it…”

117. …”what you need to work on is swimming.
I’ll arrange it so you can have two periods
of swimming…”
When the rabbit heard that, he just threw
up!

118. The rabbit was inspired…
“When I graduated.. I
will start a business
where rabbits would
do nothing but run,
the squirrels could
just climb trees, and
the fish could swim.”
“Oh, what
a great place
that would be!”
