Title: Jumping Jackrabbit
Jumping Jackrabbit
John the Jackrabbit loved to jump. He never walked anywhere. Why would he walk when he could jump? Jumping was a lot more fun than walking. John jumped so much that his jumps got higher and higher and higher.
The Jackrabbit family liked to visit Farmer Brown’s garden and nibble on his lettuce and carrots. Farmer Brown didn’t like the Jackrabbits. He didn’t want to share his lettuce and carrots with them. He wanted to eat all those vegetables himself because vegetables are full of vitamins and good nutrients that make you healthy. When he saw the Jackrabbit family in his garden, he’d run to the garden and chase them out, trying to hit them with his hoe.
Farmer Brown decided to set a trap for the Jackrabbits. He wanted to catch them and take them to a place far, far away from his garden. On a bright sunny day, the Jackrabbit family went to have breakfast in Farmer Brown’s garden. When they got into the garden, the gate swung closed. They were trapped.
“Oh no!” cried Mrs. Jackrabbit. “How will we get out?”
Jumping Jackrabbit had an idea. “I think that I can jump right over the fence,” he said. “Well, bless my soul, I think you might be able to,” said Mrs. Jackrabbit. And that’s what he did.
Jumping Jackrabbit took a few jumps and then a really, really big jump, and he jumped right over the fence. Then he jumped around and opened the gate to let the rest of the Jackrabbit family out.
Farmer Brown decided to let the Jackrabbit family share his garden. After all, he was such a good farmer that he had grown enough lettuce and carrots for the Brown family and for the Jackrabbit family.
