Wild Bunny

One day three children set out from their house on a walk. They enjoyed walking in the evening, often turning ordinary streets and sidewalks into fantastic flights of fancy and adventures into the Great Unknown.On this particular evening, they narrowly escaped being ravaged by a wild bunny, who leapt out from behind a neighbors with a mighty chew and a ferocious twitch of its nose. Huddling together at first out of fear, the oldest child then stepped forward and shouted to the bunny, "We do not fear you!"That seemed to set the attacker back, but then it reared up onto its hind legs, pressing the attack. The younger two children shuddered and this and drew even more closely together, but the oldest recognized this as a desperate ploy from the rabbit. "Begone!" she shouted, and the wild bunny, recognizing defeat, turned and hopped back into the bushes from which it had come. It was only then that the oldest child let out a deep sigh of relief. For all the brave talk, she had not been entirely sure that the wild bunny wouldn't leap at her and tear her limb from limb. The three children continued on their walk, though they stayed very close together that evening.It was at almost an hour before the oldest child's hands stopped shaking, but she didn't let her younger siblings notice.
