The rabbits were looking for shelter from an approaching storm and went to ask their friend Tom if they could stay at his house. Tom agreed and the rabbits helped with chores like hanging laundry in exchange. Little rabbit enjoyed staying at Tom's cozy home, where they read books while their mother knitted. They threw a birthday party for the littlest rabbit. Eventually, the rabbits' mother decided she preferred living outside again, so they thanked Tom and returned to their rabbit home, remaining good friends.
