The Turnip Comes Back

I

It is winter. It is very cold. The White Rabbit has nothing to eat. He opens the door of his house. Oh, how cold it is! And the fields are white with snow!

“But I must get something to eat,” says the White Rabbit. And he runs to the field to get some food.

In the field he sees two turnips. The White Rabbit is very happy.

“Two turnips!” he cries. “How good!”

The White Rabbit pulls out the two turnips and eats one of them. He eats one of the turnips but does not eat the other.

He says:

“It is winter. I think the Donkey has nothing to eat. I must take this turnip to him.”

The White Rabbit runs to the Donkey’s house. The Donkey is not at home. The White Rabbit opens the door, puts the turnip on the table and goes home.

The Donkey is in the field at this time. He is hungry and wants to get some food there. He looks round and sees a cabbage. He is happy. He takes the cabbage and goes home.

When the Donkey comes home and opens the door, he sees the turnip on the table.

“A turnip! Where does it come from?”

The Donkey sits down at the table and eats his cabbage. Then he looks at the turnip and says:

“It is winter. I think the Lamb has nothing to eat. I must take the turnip to him.”

The Donkey goes to the Lamb’s house. But the Lamb is not at home. The Donkey opens the door, puts the turnip on the table and goes away.

The Lamb is in the field at this time. He is hungry and wants to get some food there. He looks round and sees a carrot. He pulls it out and goes home. He is happy.

When the Lamb comes home and opens the door, he sees the turnip on the table.

“A turnip! Where does it come from?”

The Lamb sits down and eats his carrot. He looks at the turnip and says:

“It is winter. I think the White Rabbit has nothing to eat. I must take the turnip to him.”

The Lamb runs to the White Rabbit’s house. The White Rabbit is in bed. He is asleep. The Lamb puts the turnip on the table and goes home.

In the morning the White Rabbit sees the turnip on the table.

“My turnip!” he cries. “My turnip is back! What good friends I have!”
