Herb and Hebe Know

Yesterday Mr and Mrs Know, (who are teachers) took the rabbits who attended school this year on a trip to Mushroom Valley for the last school day for this year. Mr Know took their baby twins, Herb and Hebe to Kowhai Corner Bunnyborough Medical Centre to be cared for by Nurse Emily and Dental Nurse Flo.

Mr and Mrs Know were told before the twins were taken to K.C.B. Medical centre that Mr Kiwi will give them their last medicine treatment and Doctor Kiwi would be visiting the twins to check that the twins are responding to the last treatment the way they should. Mr and Mrs Know were told not to pick up the twins until the next morning when it was daylight.

Mr Kiwi gives Herb and Hebe the last lot of medicine to make their fur grow.  The twins have a temperature but that is quiet normal for this treatment.  Doctor Kiwi and Mr Kiwi go home and say they will be back at daylight, (hopefully before Mr and Mrs Know!)  The twins go to sleep so Nurse Emily and Dental Nurse Flo go upstairs to their beds and go to sleep too.

 

At daylight they hear the knocking on the door.  Mr and Mrs Know, Mr Kiwi and Doctor Kiwi are there waiting to be let in.  They all rush to Herb and Hebe’s beds where the twins are still asleep. “Oh!” they all exclaim the twins are cured.  With all the noisy discussions the twins wake up and smile at their parents. Oh, what a happy start to the day.

 

    They all pose for a photo together before Mr and Mrs Know heartily thank everyone and hop off home with the twins.   Next year looks promising for the Know family.

End of Year School Trip

 

Mrs Know is calling the roll to check who is present at school today. Les Lemon and Fiona Fawn are absent.  Mrs Know told the rabbits last week that today they are going on a school trip to Mushroom Valley. Although it will be a fun day the rabbits are to pair off or form a small group and they are to have a leader to write a description of the mushrooms they see.

 

Mr Know has taken the twins, Hebe and Herb, to the hospital for the day to be looked after by the Nurse and Dental Nurse.

 

For a treat Marigold, Rosemary and Rata have been invited to come too. Mr Know is picking them up with Strawberry the pony and cart. They younger rabbits will also ride in the cart. Les and Fiona have arrived, just in time. They all hop to Mushroom Valley.

 

When they arrive at Mushroom Valley Gene and Grace pair off and Grace writes down the description of this mushroom as peach in colour. That is after they have a play with the hedgehogs.

 

Greg and Bluebell described these mushrooms as shiny, mustard in colour and the biggest one in the middle has a green top.

Rosemary is with Rata and Marigold and she writes down this mushroom is called a Plum mushroom and it is tall and woody. Rata has poor eyesight so Rosemary tells her what she has written down.

The Grayson quads stay together and Tracy has described the mushrooms as small with white stalks and a red top with white spots.

 

Ingrid, Fiona and Len are together and are having trouble describing this mushroom. Ingrid eventually writes down brown with rings with a dark brown edge at the base and on the widest top part. They notice the small mushrooms and have a closer look.

“It’s a little house for the ladybird!” exclaims Ingrid. The hedgehog tells Fiona that there are two blue mushrooms and a little blue man lives in one.

Fiona goes over to the blue mushrooms to have a look but Mr and Mrs Know come over and asks them to come back to join the others.  Fiona tells them that a little blue man lives in one.

“Not in this country they are not lived in,” replies Mrs Know. Mr Know adds that the little blue men are known as smurfs and they don’t live in this valley.

Fiona turns her head back when they walk away and she is sure she saw a little blue man come out the door of one mushroom and run to the other mushroom.

The day ends with a picnic and the rabbits hop back into the cart and Strawberry takes them back to the school. They have all had an enjoyable day and are sad that this is the last day of school for this year.

 

 

Mr Dot Opens his Pizza Shop

Mr Dot was very pleased when Mr Know told him that the K. C. Bunnyborough committee has given their permission for him to open a Pizza Shop and sell pizzas at K. C. Bunnyborough.

 

Mr Dot quickly got his building transported from his last location and set it up at the allotted place given to him to have his Pizza Shop.  Mrs Grayson and Mrs Grayson/blue think his shop is a bit shabby; maybe it needs a female’s touch. 

They give him  two containers of tulips in a half barrel and plant four gerberas in front of the Pizza shop's eating area.

 

Mr Dot invites the Grayson Family to be his first customers and will give the family a free pizza meal at the shop.  His daughter, Ingrid will be his assistant when theshop is open and Mr Dot will cook all the Pizzas.

His next customers are Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail. They order a carrot, cheese and puha (vegetable) pizza. Mr Dot welcomes his first paying customers and Mr Dot and Grandfather Cottontail talk about the places they have visited. While Mr Dot is talking the White family and Pink Nose arrive and order a pizza. Mr Dot is very pleased. Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail would prefer to have chairs to sit on at the Pizza shop.

On Mondays Mr Dot will deliver pizzas to the North. On Tuesdays he will deliver pizzas to the South. On Wednesdays he will deliver pizzas to the West and on Thursdays he will deliver to the East. 

It is twilight now and the Pizza shop does not have electricity. Mr Dot tells Ingrid he will close the shop now and asks her to clean and tidy the shop while he goes and cuts some wood for tomorrow.

 

The shop is closed and it is dark but the lovely smell of the piazzas still lingers and the smell hasn’t escaped two twitching noses that belong to Ricky and Ruth Rattie.  They are lured by the smell to the Pizza shop.

“This is a new shop,” Says Ricky to Ruth, as he looks at the gap between the foundation and floor of the shop.  He crawls through with Ruth close behind and comes out between the two floor levels. They find the left over wrapped pizzas  on the back shelf of the counter.

“Yum, Yum,” they murmur as eat the pizzas.  When they eat all they can they s q u e e z e out the same way they got in.

 

Ruth sees Mr Dot’s bike for pizza deliveries and asks Ricky to give her a ride.  They enjoy a bike ride and are returning the bike when they hear a noise. They abandon the bike and run away.

 

Next morning Mr Dot notices his bike on its side and Ingrid sees the mess inside the shop .

 

Mr Dot contacts Mr Know and he comes and examines the paw prints on the bike and teeth marks on the half eaten pizza.  “I know who has been here” he says, “The Ratties.”  Mr Dot will not press charges because no damage has been done. They can do three  hours of cutting wood.
