3. Snowflake the White
Bunny
One day, Mummy Rabbit had one
more bunny. He was so cute! So
white! He was so white that he
was called Snowflake Bunny.
He was the smallest of all his
brothers and sisters. As time went by he grew up,
always cute, always white. But, as he grew up, Mummy
Rabbit was more and more worried. Do you know why?
Because Snowflake used to go out by himself without
asking permission to Mummy Rabbit and he used to
have long walks that could be very dangerous.
Mummy Rabbit used to say:
- Son, when you want to go out, ask permission to
Mummy. And never forget to say where you’re going to.
Don’t ever go near the Blue Lake, it is very
dangerous!!
That was in vain. As soon as Mummy Rabbit got
distracted Snowflake used to run to the Blue Lake to
watch the beautiful water, so blue that it looked like
a mirror.
One day, Snowflake had an idea. He went to see his
friend Smiling Duckling and both together they thought
of a plan.
Without Mummy’s knowing, one night in the moonlight
as everybody was sleeping, one little white thing was
moving in the garden produce.
Who was that? Do you know it?
That’s it!!! It was Snowflake who was hiding in the
vegetables but suddenly, when nobody could see him,
he had a look around, raised his ears and very, very
slowly he walked and walked... He looked up and saw
the moon and the stars shining far away in the sky.
4. It seemed to him the sky was so beautiful but he
couldn’t waste his time so he decided to walk faster.
Where could he go so late that night?
Knock! Knock! Knock! Rang his feet as he ran and
ran...
Suddenly he stopped. Near a tree was his friend
Smiling Duckling, he was sleeping.
- Wake up! Wake up! Wake up Smiling Duckling!
Smiling Duckling rubbed his eyes, blinked a little and
still very sleepy shouted with fear:
- Quack! Quack! Quack! Who’s calling me?
- hussshhhh!!! Smiling Duckling, don’t make noise!! It’s
me, Snowflake. Don’t you remember we had to meet
tonight?
- But so late? asked Smiling Duckling very sleepy.
- I’m sorry but I could not come earlier said
Snowflake.
- Alright, so, what are we waiting for? Let’s go, said
Smiling Duckling.
Then they started to walk side by side. They walked
and walked and walked… until they decided to stop,
tired and asking themselves... Where are we? They
looked around them and saw the Blue Lake. What a
surprise! They were in the Blue Lake!!! Both friends
looked at each other and smiled happy.
5. Then, very slowly, they went near the shore and saw a
little boat tied to a tree.
Smiling Duckling and Snowflake jumped into it and
started to row. How great! what a wonderful walk!
They decided to stop in a place where there were so
many flowers, yellow and red flowers and Smiling
Duckling said, delighted:
- They’re wonderful! If only I could take one of
them.
Then Snowflake, very quickly, bent down to take the
flower for his friend but...This is a disaster!! The
boat capsized and Snowflake fell down into the water
asking for help!
Smiling Duckling also fell into the water but he could
swim so he swam up to the shore the faster he could
and looked for some help desperately for his friend
who was already drowning.
In that moment, a dog’s barking was heard. It was
Lulo, Mummy Rabbit’s dog who was in the
neighbourhood. Lulo jumped into the water, swam very
bravely and with lots of efforts could take his friend
Snowflake out of the water of the Blue Lake.
Mummy Rabbit heard Lulo’s barking and came running
and helped her son to dry himself.
- Why didn’t you listen to me, son? She asked. You
could have drowned!
- I know Mummy, I know. From now on I promise to
be more obedient, answered Snowflake.
Snowflake had been saved and from that day on he
didn’t go out, not even once, without asking permission
and he never forgot the terrible fright he got.
And that’s the end of the story...
