One million Rabbits

It was a normal autumn in the city of London. The people of the city, though, were fighting and arguing. There was soon to be a huge competition, one bigger than any competition the capital had ever known. It was a competition to discover the biggest, most gynormus, and massive piece of food! As the day got closer you could see the giant apple and the big banana but tallest of all was the carrot! It was bigger than the Shard.

The day had arrived. Mr Hopkinson and Mrs Hopkinson, the Prime Ministers, were standing on a large platform above everyone else. Up and down they measured the food, tip to toe, until they announced the winner: Mr and Mrs Worrall with their girl Edith, who had grown the massive carrot.

Mr and Mrs Worrall and Edith were farmers. They hated rabbits.

Nobody noticed a tiny rabbit, then another and another, until there were about ten bunnies sniffing the carrot out. Then all the bunnies in Britain arrived. Up they came to the carrot.

The bunnies in the USA had noticed too, smelling the giant carrot across the Atlantic. They took the carrot jet and all zoomed to London. News spread even further. The Chinese bunnies took the underground tram, while the bunnies from France took the Euro Star. The bunnies from Australia rode kangaroos, which took longer than the others because it’s a long way! The bunnies from Africa took an elephant; again it took quite a long time. The Irish bunnies went surf skiing. The Russian bunnies took a bus-boat.

Soon, a million bunnies were surrounding and nibbling the carrot. Everyone in London was astonished at the sight. The two Prime Ministers called in the police, and were shouting, “Get away from our carrot! Go back to where you came from!” But the rabbits didn’t care what the Prime Ministers said and ignored the police. One of the rabbits from Italy bit a policeman on the bottom.

Soon the carrot had disappeared, all gobbled up. Mr and Mrs Worrall ran away screaming, to catch the next flight to Africa, where now there were no rabbits. Edith, on the other hand, missed the flight and was left behind in London. At first, she was distressed. Then she started making friends with the bunnies. She decided they weren’t that bad after all.

When all the carrot was gone, she invited them back to her farm, where she grew huge carrots for them all. Gradually, over the next few years, she grew long ears and a cottontail. The million rabbits and Edith lived happily together for the rest of their lives.
