| The little rabbit named Roo | |

A girl finds a little rabbit and immediately falls in love... This is the story of finding Roo She was lost, hurt and cowering too Behind the bushes, under the fruit tree was where I found her, blind to me Apples garnished all over the ground hiding Roo before she was found It was as the sun was peeking through the leaves that I heard a tiny, cute little sneeze. 'Achoo,' 'Bless you' was my natural, tip of my tongue, reply a response without thinking, to a small animal cry With my white plimsoll I moved some of the fruit there sat a scared rabbit, next to the tree's root I watched and waited for it to run and hide but it stayed still and let me stand tall by its side A yard of space separated her so short and me so tall whilst a light breeze caused several leaves to fall The rabbit cried in pain and I looked at her again This time I really saw her damaged rear paw it was hurt, and prevented a compliment of four I gasped, bent down and tentatively stroked her fur and though she was in pain, she emitted a purr This young rabbit with its ears laid back was unable to run home along the dirt track Instinctively I bent down because I knew what I had to do I picked her up and she watched me with eyes so blue In my arms I cradled her body tight she didn't seem to mind and didn't fight My heart was beating, every so fast I couldn't believe this happiness would last 'Your name will be Roo,' I said tickling her body and stroking her head Now we were friends, I took Roo away leaving behind the trees where I play Mum and Dad were full of surprise happiness beamed from within their eyes 'Can I keep Roo as my pet?' 'First she needs to see a vet.' This is the story of how I found Roo now she is healthy, happy and can run too I wanted to keep her in the house with me but Mother said she'd be better outside and free Fingers crossed that on one sunny day I'll see little Roo when I go out to play.
