Here are a couple excerpts
from the story.
Ricky Rabbit’s Good DeedIt was spring and Ricky rabbit was tired of eating all the frozen nibbles he had eaten all winter long. He really wanted the fresh spring clover that grew in Tuffy the Terrier’s yard.The problem was, Tuffy the Terrier was usually too friendly with Ricky and his loud bark scared him.He was as happy as he could be. The sun was shining and the air was warm. He hopped down the forest path. Coming up the path was his good friend Chelsea the Chipmunk. “Where are you going, Ricky?” asked Chelsea. Ricky explained that he was hungry for the sweet clover from Tuffy’s yard, but he was afraid of going there while Tuffy was home and outside.Ricky asked Chelsea what she was doing. “I am looking for some seeds to eat, but seeds are hard to find this soon after winter,” said Chelsea.Ricky thought for a moment. “Well, I can help with that!” exclaimed Ricky. “Follow me!”
