One day on a bright summers evening there were three rabbits called Dolk, Ding and Papple, who were sitting and eating their supper when their mother came in.  She looked distraught, her wide eyes like cricket balls because Evil Eric was on the move to rabbit country because he wanted more land to find buried treasure.  In a fit of panic, she told them that they had to go to find a new settlement, far far away from here. They spent the night packing and soon they were on the move through the crisp morning air.

Soon they came to a small settlement full of all kinds of creatures, including frogs dressed in gowns and otters in a hot tub!  The rabbits looked all through the village and found a small but cosy cottage where they could stay the night. The cottage belonged to an old badger who took pity on them. Papple, who is funny,  gave him a small coin for letting them stay.  While Ding, who was cheeky, gave him a handful of dirt and told him to do something with it! Being the oldest out of the three rabbits, Dolk shook him by the paw and helped clean the dishes.

In the morning, they were on the road again, hoping and praying to find sanctuary so that Evil Eric couldn’t find them. Evil Eric was the most cunning and evil dog of all the land. He had teeth as sharp as a tin cans and a heart that was full of evil and betrayal.  His cauliflower like feet were rapidly running to cross the borders of rabbit country.
