Two Rabbits

By Lucas Marts

 

        Once upon a time there were two rabbits. One was named Oreo the other was named Reese. They were boyfriend and girlfriend. It was Christmas Eve morning. Oreo wanted a golden necklace to go with her golden bracelet and Reese wanted a carrot cutter for his carrots. Reese knew Oreo wanted the necklace so Reese went to get the golden necklace for her but sadly he had to sell his guitar which he played for the poor. Oreo sold her watch for Reese. They headed home for Christmas Eve. When they got home they were so nervous they both went to bed without their supper. Twelve hours later in the morning they went to the living room and told each other what had happened. They cried with joy and sadness then Reese said, “It’s okay because we both got rid of things we loved for each other.” Then they hugged.
