The Bunny Tale Traci Dowe/Kenworth

The first bunny hopped on the square. It was countered by the stork. The second bunny hopped two squares forward and bowed to the goat. Sideways and L-shaped, a black horse entered the combat field. The cow pushed forward five squares and nodded to the goose.

“Hey,” the first bunny said to the others. “This is confusing.”

The black horse brushed back the cow. “I think it’s fine.”

Nods or shakes of the head went around the combat field.

“What does this mean?” the goose said to the second bunny.

“I think it’s a push toward Easter.”

“Really?”

“But why put us here?” the second bunny asked.

The cow chewed its cud. “All children love to see interaction. Just not the strong stuff. Strong as in violent.”

“You’re right,” the first bunny said. “We should cherish their presence. And show our kindness toward each other. Children love that.”
