Description

Three rabbit friends discover what they are best at: Darcy finds no other rabbit can outperform him in digging, Farold realizes that he is the best runner, and Howell's long ears enable him to hear over very long distances. Each of the three rabbits is very proud of their own ability and anticipates recognition from their friends. When they meet, each of them is only focused on talking about his own qualities without listening the others. Their individual believes that their own skills are the most important skill for a rabbit to have result in a loud and passionate argument that catches the attention of a hungry lynx. The lynx captures the rabbits and takes them to his hut to cook them for lunch. In order to have his hands free for the meal preparation, the lynx puts the rabbits under a metal cage with a heavy rock on top to keep them from escaping. He then goes about the process of meal preparation with the scared rabbits looking on. Under pressure, the story tells how the rabbits realize that individual skills are useless for an escape....unless they combine their abilities. A clever and well-planned combination of Darcy's digging, Farold's speed and Howell's listening skills might just work. Tension rises as they put the plan into action, all under the watchful eyes of the lynx who is anticipating a meal comprised of the three friends. Several times the rabbits almost despair of being able to escape and indeed, they escape the cauldron with not a minute to spare. Discover yourself how the rabbits got into this dreadful situation, all the effort it took to get away and what they learned through the experience.

One spring day in a distant old forest there were three little rabbits who were very, very pleased with themselves.

Darcy was a young rabbit who was happy with his strength. With his powerful paws, he could dig holes almost anywhere, even in hard ground. For Darcy, digging was the most important skill a rabbit could have, because he would always have a place to hide from danger. That morning, he was really proud of himself because he had just completed digging his own burrow, and he was looking forward to telling his friends Farold and Howell what a great rabbit he was–the best–because no other rabbit could dig better than he could.

Farold was also a young rabbit, and he was happy with his speed. With his fast legs, he could outrun any other rabbit and almost all other animals too. For Farold, running was the most important skill a rabbit could have, because he would always be able to escape from danger. That morning, he was really proud of himself because he had just left a young deer far behind in a race, and he was looking forward to telling his friends Darcy and Howell what a great rabbit he was–the best–because no other rabbit could run faster than he could.

Howell was also a young rabbit, and he was happy with his sharp hearing. With his big ears he could hear every little sound in the forest better than anyone else. For Howell, hearing was the most important skill a rabbit could have, because he could hear danger in advance, and avoid it. That morning, he was so proud of himself because he had just learned to identify the sound of hawk wings far above, and he was looking forward to telling his friends Darcy and Farold what a great rabbit he was–the best–because no other rabbit could hear better than he could.

Each little rabbit was eager to meet his friends to impress them with his great skill. So, that afternoon, after school, they all ran to the forest creek, where they often played together.
