The Hazelnut Family Need a Home

Mrs Grayson invites the Hazelnut family to stay and have a meal with them. The family gratefully accept and explain that the river flooded and washed their home away. Terry Tan rescued them by helicopter and instructed them to go to Mr Know’s house when they landed at K. C. Bunnyborough. Mr Know cannot give them a home at K. C. Bunnyborough because it is a place for rabbits to live… but recently a shelter was organised for two young rats that have been hiding in K. C. Bunnyborough since it was established. Mr Know assures the family that a shelter will be given to them to use.

 

Mrs Grayson suggests that they go and meet Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail who have a caravan and often travel around in their car to different areas they might know of a place where you can make a home for yourselves.

 

The family thank the Grayson family for a lovely meal of carrots and go to find Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail.

 

 

Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail are delighted to meet the Hazelnut family and invite them to stay with them tonight in the caravan.

 

The Hazelnut family have a good sleep when they all finally stop talking to Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail. Otto and Odette love sleeping in the bunk beds.

 

The next morning after a nice hot cooked breakfast Grandfather Cottontail recommends that they go and visit the rats at their shelter.

 

The Hazelnut family are given the instructions to find the rats shelter. The Hazelnut family all use toilet before they leave. Mrs Hazelnut thanks Mrs Cottontail for their hospitality and the Hazelnut family scamper off towards the rat’s shelter.

 

The rats are a bit shy when the Hazelnut family arrive because they are used to hiding from other animals. After the Hazelnut family introduce themselves to Ricky and Ruth they talk about their need to find themselves a shelter to make into a home.

 

Mr Hazelnut says the houses at K. C. Bunnyborough are great but they prefer to live out doors. Ricky suggests that they might be able to make themselves comfortable shelter in a nearby tree where Ricky and Ruth spend a lot of time climbing and playing in.

Ricky and Ruth asks the family to follow them to the tree. The Hazelnut family and very impressed when they see the tree. Mr Hazelnut looks at Mrs Hazelnut and she nods her head in approval before Mr Hazelnut asks her if she would like to stay here.

 

 

 Otto and Odette squeal in delight and start climbing the tree. The others follow and explore the tree. Ruth and Ricky will enjoy having them live nearby and can see they will all become good friends.
