The Pink Mushroom - part 3














Terry Tan puts his front paw up as a peace greeting to Bluey. Terry can sense that the situation is tense. “Greetings, we are from Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough and are searching for the pink mushroom.” Terry Announces. “Oh,” replies Bluey, “I thought you were going to attack us.  We have just passed a group of aggressive male rabbits who were arguing about something.  There seemed to be a female rabbit in the centre of them.  The situation doesn’t look good for her.  We stopped to offer help but some young bucks came over to us and took our bag of carrots and told us to HOP OFF.  As you can see we are old rabbits and want to avoid any trouble.
 

Bluey and his sisters have been on pink mushroom searches before and have tasted the syrup and have seen some unpleasant situations arise on their search.  Terry and Richard look at each other and are thinking the same thing, Shall we go and find the group of males and see if we can help the female?  Bluey tells Terry that it is now day five and the pink mushroom will dissolve on the seventh morning.

Terry’s reply to Bluey is, "if someone needs help he will help them if he can."  Bluey offers to take Terry’s and Richard’s bottle to fill up with the pink mushroom syrup (they have to find it first!) if they want to go back the way Bluey and his sisters have come. Terry and Richard past their empty bottles over to Bluey because they have decided to go back to find the female rabbit.


They hop towards the direction Bluey has come from until twilight.   Terry tells Richard they will stop now and sleep in the bush tonight. Terry points out to Richard the Hollow Trunk in the distance and tells Richard they will go and have a closer look in the morning. During the night they are woken up by a group of rabbits at the Hollow Trunk making a lot of noise.  Terry whispers to Richard to keep quiet and stay hidden.  The group of male rabbits hop past close to them but they don’t see Terry and Richard. Whew! They are safe.

 
The next morning Terry and Richard go to have a closer look at the Hollow Trunk.  Richard exclaims he can see rabbit ears in the trunk hollow!  They climb closer and look in the trunk hollow and hear a female squeal.  ”I am naked and a group of male rabbits put me in here and are coming back for me when they have found the pink mushroom.   I can’t get out.”
 
Terry and Richard pull her out. She squeals again and tells them to turn their heads the other way so she can cover herself with leaves and starts crying. “Don’t cry,” says Richard, “You're safe with us.”
“We have no time to lose,” says Terry,”the group of male rabbits could be back any minute, let’s go.”

They start hopping towards Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough as quick as they can.

After hopping for more than a couple of hours they enter a bushy area to rest and talk.
The white female rabbit tells Terry and Richard that she was on her way to Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough and she stopped to sleep in the bush for the first night. 
 
She awoke in the morning to a sweet fragrance when she looked out of the bush where she had slept and she saw a pink mushroom!! She didn’t know about its’ syrup that can only be drunk by rabbits and that rabbits will search all over the country to find it.She just wanted to hop away from the area as fast as she could because the strong fragrance had given her a headache.
 A few days ago a group of male rabbits caught her and kept her captive after they ripped her dress off… and she started to cry again.
“Don’t cry,” says Richard for a second time. “We will take you to Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough and you can live with my family.”
“I have a brother at Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough whose name is Mr White and he has a wife and baby, Gwen.” the white rabbit sobs.
 “Well,” Terry comments, “We will take you to their pink boot home.” “Come on not much further to hop now.I’ll just send a message to let them know we are coming.” He thumps his back leg on the ground to send the message.
When Mr and Mrs White's pink boot home comes into view they see the White family hopping towards them.There is a very happy reunion amongst the White family.

Mr and Mrs White thank Terry and Richard for finding Pink Nose and bringing her to them.
Richard and Terry go to Richard's home and Mrs Grayson tells them that Bluey has already been and dropped off their two bottles of pink mushroom syrup.
