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.”
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.
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.
