Whining About the Poo

One day Pristine the rabbit woke up, had a rabbity breakfast (carrot juice, carrot salad, carrot stew and carrot cake), and prepared to leave for the day.

But just as she peered out of her rabbit hole,

“Pewwwwwwww”

Some poo.

Right near the entrance.

She almost fainted. Can you imagine? Poo. Right at the entrance to her rabbit hole!

She went right over to Bret the Beaver.

“Bret” she said.  Why did you poo right near the entrance to my rabbit hole? Please clean it up right away! Shame on you!”

Bret walked over to Pristine’s hole, had a good look at the poo and smelled it too.

“It’s not my poo. If you ask me, it looks like turtle poo”, he said.

They went right over to Tort the Turtle.

“Tort” said Pristine. Shame on you! Why did you poo right near the entrance to my rabbit hole? Please clean it up right away!”

Tort walked over to Pristine’s hole, had a good look at the poo and smelled it too.

“It’s not my poo. If you ask me, it looks like camel poo”, he said.

So they went over to Amel the Camel.

“Amel” Pristine said. Shame on you! Why did you poo right near the entrance to my rabbit hole? Please clean it up right away!”

Amel walked over to Pristine’s hole, had a good look at the poo and smelled it too.

“It’s not my poo. If you ask me, it looks like lion poo”, he said.

They all went over to see Leopold the lion.

“Leopold”, Pristine said (politely this time). I was just wondering whether this might be your poo at the entrance to my rabbit hole. No problem if it is. I was just wondering, that’s all.

Leopold walked over to Pristine’s hole, had a good look at the poo and smelled it too.

“It’s not my poo. And even if it were, what’s it to you?” He glared at them and added  “You’re lucky that I just ate, otherwise you would all be my breakfast.”

And he walked back to rest under his tree.

The animals scurried back to the rabbit hole. Even the turtle!

When they returned, they noticed that something was missing.

The poo! It was gone! The poo had disappeared!

Instead, there was a letter. It read:

To Pristine the Rabbit,

“I’m so sorry about the poo,

I cleaned it up.”

Signed – You know who. 

Pristine never knew

Who left the poo,

Who cleaned it up,

Who’s “you know who”.

Only I know,

Because you see,

The one who left the poo

Was me.
