A Change is as Good as a Rest (1)
Ms. Frog and Ms. Bunny were huddled together having a great old chin wag about the various scandalous goings on in the forest.
“You don´t say…”
“She did what…?”
“Well I never…..”
were just some of the little comments you could hear over their callous whispers. They were just about to get into some juicy news about Ms. Hedgehog when out of nowhere crept Ms. Fox.
“Good day fellow woodland creatures.” barked the sly redhead.
“Good day.” answered Ms. Frog. “I hear you´ve been particularly busy these days. We heard some sheep in the district had disappeared. Had you anything to do with that?”
Ms. Fox shrugged her shoulders and played with the seam of her apron.
“Well I am carnivorous, I suppose you do know what that means.”
“Is it that you like stones and pebbles?” asked Ms. Bunny from behind a tree.
“No, I like meat Ms. Bunny and you´re lot, if I could catch them would make a fine meal.”
Ms. Bunny ran into the nearest burrow and peered out trembling. Ms. Frog stood her ground but she was overly confident as she knew that with one leap she would be safely in the river.
“Why are you so afraid of me?”complained the fox.
“You could eat me right now if you wanted, in fact you are a scourge to all my kind,” replied the shaking bunny.
“You eat flies Ms. Frog and you eat plants and vegetables Ms. Bunny, don´t you think they have feelings too!”
“I wasn´t aware they could feel anything,” said Ms. Bunny.
