Once upon a time, there was a rabbit named Richard. He lived with his bunny family on a hill in a meadow. It was always peaceful and happy. They always had picnics and snag and danced in the fields. But one day, all of that changed. 

Richard went out to go pick some carrots in a grove beyond the meadow and when he returned, he found his home on fire and his family no where to be seen! He started to cry and didn't know what to do. He started to walk away with nothing but the clothes on his back, his childhood blanket, and the carrots he'd picked.

He walked far and wide, all across the forest and mountains and valleys. Then, eventually, he found a small-ish town with lots of people, cars, and buildings. It was all very new to Richard, so he started strolling about the town, but then it started to rain and thunder! Richard had always been terrified of the rain, so he hid under a broken water drain, leaking dirty water the best place to hide on the Earth.

Then a girl walked by little Richard and noticed him all dirty and wet under the drain. Her name was Sydney. She picked up the poor bunny  and she knew she couldn't leave him out in the rain. She took him to a tree house where her friends always hung out. So she left him in there and got him a little bunny sweater and warmed him up with some hot chocolate by the fire, because there is a fire in the tree house.

After Richard cuddled up to go to bed, Sydney immediately called her friend, Alex. They had always pretended to have pets that were dinosaurs (that were totally real! not pretend) and she knew this would fit perfectly right for them. So Alex got over there as fast as he could and they waited out the rain.  After a couple more minutes, the rain had let up and Richard was awake. Richard then yawned and said, "Well that was a nice nap!"

Sydney and Alex were shocked! They had found a talking bunny rabbit! They immediately began to talk with him and he explained the whole situation. They agreed to keep him, but only in secret. Nobody could know or else their parents would get mad. So, they left him for the night, and Richard knew he had found the right home. <3

Soon days had past and Richard had gotten used to his home. He could get found and clothes for himself,so Alex and Sydney didn't have any upkeep, but then...

You know how I said there was a fireplace in the tree house?

Well that fireplace didn't follow safety codes.

So one evening,Richard was trying to put more wood in the fire when it accidentally caught the floor on fire! It all started burning up, fast. Richard was scared, but he knew what he'd have to do. He went to the edge of the door, and aimed for the leaf pile. He did what bunnies do best: JUMP.

Just then, Sydney came around the corner to check on him. She saw the burning tree house and was petrified! She called911 and ran up to the house. Thankfully, Richard had just made his way out of the leaf pile as she came up to the tree house. Alex also came by right then too, and together, Alex and Sydney were able to find Richard and rescue him.

Richard knew he wasn't with his real birth family, but it was the best family he could ask for. Alex and Sydney got old and always kept Richard, as their best friend, in their home and lived happily every after!

The End!
