I was terrified, the mother came and she looked at me, "What a beautiful rabbit!" she exclaimed, "But its a wild rabbit, I think."
"But mommy!"
"No 'Buts', the rabbit stays outside."
"Fine..." said the child, "Hey, what's this thing on its paw?"
"What do you mean- Oh my gosh," She picked me up and took my mother's ring off my paw. "a golden ring..."
she put me down and walked into the house to look at it.
"My ring! no, no, no! I need that,that's my mother's, all I have from her that didn't burn!" I thought frantically, "I need to get it, but I have to find a way to get inside the house."
I had an idea, what if I turned into a cat?
Everyone loves cats!"
so I sat on the ground under a tree, the dog licked me and sat next to me, even though I was a rabbit.
I thought over and over, "I need to become a cat... I need to..."
I didn't, I couldn't...
I lost my ring maybe forever.
I hopped back to the school, still as a rabbit, and waited for school to be out.
it was quite a few hours, but eventually, Anne came out and looked for me, she waited for everyone to leave, and she called softly:
"June? come out, I'm going to my house."
I hopped into her lap and she looked in surprise at me.
I tried to talk, but I didn't have lips, so I couldn't talk.
I had an idea, I hopped out, put my paw on her hand, jumped into the shadow of a tree and dissapeared.
She followed me and looked while I dissapeared.
she looked around and couldn't find me, she looked at the shadow and said in surprise,
"June? is that you?"
I jumped out and rubbed against her to show it WAS me.
"How the hell did that happen to you?"
of course, she didn't expect an answer, but I still nodded my head a little.
She picked me up, carried me home, and brought me inside.
"Hey mom!  I found a rabbit, its black and it really seems to like me!"
Her mom rushed in and looked at me,
"I saw that same rabbit earlier! It had this ring on it's paw." she showed the ring to Anne and she looked at it, her eyes glued to the beautifully carved pictures on the ring, and felt it, for maybe a minute or so.
"It's beautiful..."
