Found and Returned

Found and Returned is part two of A Picinic at Tree Hut Park




Grandpa Cottontail drove to the Grayson house to take the children home. Mrs Grayson thanked Grandpa and Grandma Cottontail for taking five of her children to Tree Hut Park for the day.



When Grandpa and Grandma Cottontail arrived at their caravan home Grandma Cottontail carried the baby guinea pig inside. She gave him a warm drink of milk and put him to bed on the sheep skin with a hottie and a blanket over him.



Grandma Cottontail washed the picnic plates, cups, glasses and other things they used and Grandpa Cottontail put the picnic table cloth in the cupboard. They were both in bed when the baby guinea pig   began squeaking. Grandma  picked him up and now he felt hot! She put him back on the sheepskin bed without the hottie and blanket and told him to go back to sleep.



During the night Grandpa and Grandma Cottontail were woken up with loud squeaking. Sleepily, Grandma Cottontail sat up and could see baby guinea pig trying to get up into her sleeping bag.


 Grandma Cottontail hopped out of bed and took him to the toilet and put him back to bed.



Early in the morning baby guinea pig started squeaking  so Grandma Cottontail gave him a weetbix for breakfast and made a cup of tea for Grandpa Cottontail and herself.  Grandpa Cottontail read the Lost and Found column in the newspaper but no one has lost a baby guinea pig. He tells Grandma Cottontail that they will go back to Tree Hut Park this morning and look for baby guinea pig’s mother.





Later that morning when they arrive at Tree Hut Park they see Mr and Mrs White with their baby Gwenda by the arch branch. They go over to them and Mr White tells them that he is going to attach a tyre to make a swing on the arch branch… just how it use to be.  Grandma Cottontail tells them about the baby guinea pig they found yesterday and asks if they have seen any guinea pigs here. Mr White replied that there has been shuffling noises over in the bushes.







Just then baby guinea pig starts squeaking so Grandma Cottontail hops over towards the bushes where they hear more squeaking and out comes a guinea pig who says she is his mother. Mother guinea pig said that he didn’t follow her back to the bushes yesterday morning. Baby guinea pig is reunited with his mother and twin sister and the guinea pigs all disappear into the bushes.







Mr White has finished attaching the the tyre to the arch branch and Gwenda is enjoying her swing.
