Speaker 1 (1:05) Will Granny Rabbit be alright? It was Cynthia who said this. She was the second youngest bunny, with brown and cream-colored ears that flopped over her shoulders. Yes, it's just a sprain, Mother said as she packed her suitcase. It was the blue one, her smallest overnight bag, which reassured the bunnies as they watched her pack. But her ankles sore and she needs some help getting around. I'll be away today and tomorrow. Mother Rabbit went down the line, kissing her little bunnies. When she reached Forest, he dodged her. When will Papa be home? He asked with searching eyes. He should be back this evening after he's finished gathering cabbage for your dinner. Now come here. Forrest allowed himself to be kissed. Oh, cabbage, that's my favorite, said Quinn, wiggling her nose with excitement. Once Mother Rabbit kissed the fourteenth bunny, she collected her suitcase and paused at the door of the warren. No going out in the bright sun. Speaker 2 (2:25) Yes, Mother Rabbit. Speaker 1 (2:27) Don't leave any bunny behind when you do go out. Speaker 2 (2:31) Yes, Mother. Oh, Speaker 1 (2:33) and hang on. What day is it? It's Tuesday, Mama. Tuesday? Tuesday? Is it really? Yes. Every bunny knew what Tuesday was. Eleanor, Elliot, you're in charge of wash day. Speaker 2 (2:53) Yes, Mother. Got it, Speaker 1 (2:55) Mom. Make sure it goes smoothly. The rest of you? Listen to your brother and sister. Most of the bunnies nodded. A few sighed. Forest crossed his paws over his chest. Mother Rabbit gave them all a once-over. I want reports of excellent behavior. She turned to go, then turned back and grinned. I can't leave without a group hug. The bunnies. Every last one gathered around her. Oh, my little bunnies, I will miss you so. You Speaker 2 (3:37) can't go, Mommy. We're not letting you. That's right. We're keeping you prisoner. Speaker 1 (3:44) Granny needs me. And you do love your granny. Speaker 2 (3:48) Oh, all right. Let her go. See you
