The Legend of Rabbit

In the ancient time, rabbit has long tail and short ears, and normal eyes.

And it looks like a kangaroo,

without a pouch.

At the time, rabbits are very cute too.

Unfortunately, there is no one who like rabbit,

because he can speak, and was very annoying.

And here is where the legend start,

the season was dry, and all carrot trees wilt.

But, the rabbit is hungry, so he went to shop for carrot.

So he hops and hops and hops,

right to the tauke of the grocery shop and asked,

"Do you have any carrot?"

And sadly the tauke replied. "No, my dear."

So the rabbit hops back home, with tears shed in his eye.

Rabbit ate up some kangkung behind his house,

lying up on his bed, but he couldn't sleep.

So he tried to count carrots in his mind, forcing himself to sleep,

but failed.

---

Here comes the second day,

rabbit hops to the grocery shop again,

hoping that there will be stock of carrots today.

And so he asked the tauke, "Do you have any carrot?"

And the tauke replied again, "No."

So the rabbit ended up his day with kangkung, and lying on bed counting carrots once again.

---

And the day repeated itself for 23 times.

Rabbit's eyes are red now, because he wasn't asleep at all for 23 days!!

Blame it on the dry season, and his desire for carrots.

But he doesn't lose his hope, so he went back again to the grocery shop,

for the 24th time.

So he hops right in front of the tauke.

This time, without requests from rabbit,

the annoyed tauke which just quarrel with his girlfriend,

shouted out loud,

"STOP ASKING FOR CARROTS, I'VE NO CARROTS IN MY SHOP,

AND I'LL BREAK YOUR TEETH WITH A HAMMER IF YOU ASK FOR CARROTS AGAIN!!"

---

And here comes the 25th day, rabbit is already very very despo with carrots.

He ignored warning from the tauke,

and heads up to the grocery shop again.

But this time, the rabbit who thinks himself was very smart, asked,

"Do you have any hammer?"

Tauke was confused why is the rabbit not asking for carrots today,

but still, tauke answered, "No, why you need a hammer?"

And gracefully with excited tone, the rabbit express himself,

"Great! Now do you have any carrots? ^_^ "

So the tauke accept the challenge, but he find no hammer,

indeed, he found a kitchen knife.

And he quickly catches the rabbit who annoyed him and tried to run away,

and CHOP!

Now rabbit has no more long tail, and shouted in pain until his larynx was broken.

---

Another day ended with kangkung, but this time with no more long tail.

Then on the next day, the rabbit still cannot prevent the desire of eating carrot inside him.

He was no scare to hammer, or losing his teeth.

He already lost a tail, and has no more fear.

So he decided to went to the shop for the last time.

Tauke has no mercy for the annoying rabbit, so he pulled the rabbit's ear as how his primary school teacher done to him, as strong as he could.

And he shouted right into the extended ears of rabbit,

"I say no carrot! No carrot at all!!"

So the story ended with rabbit who have short tail, long ears, red eyes, and

no voice.

Happy Year of Rabbit =))
