The Chocolate Family Leave K. C. Bunnyborough

A few days have passed since the last day of school where it was announced that the Chocolate Family were leaving K. C. Bunnyborough. The reason given is that to have the orders of chocolate items and gingerbread houses delivered to the clients it would take five to six hours to take the items to the nearest town’s delivery depot.

The Chocolate family’s house has already been loaded on a truck and taken to the town where they are going to live. They have spent the last night staying with Mr and Mrs Know and in the morning Mr Know hitched up Strawberry, the pony, to the cart to take the Chocolate family to their house in the other town.

                                       

The Chocolate family are ready to go and Mrs Know farewells them all and looks forward to Mr Knows return in the late afternoon.

Mr Chocolate tells Mr Know that their furniture is at twin trunks under a cover and could they go past and check that the cover is safely secured. He tells Mr Know that a truck will come and pick up the furniture tomorrow afternoon. Mrs Know says she will check the furniture when they leave but Mr Chocolate insists that the family wants to check the furniture. Mr Know is surprised to hear the furniture hasn’t already been delivered to the chosen town because the house is already on the new site. Mrs Know for the second time farewells them as they leave K. C. Bunnyborough.

  They arrive at the Chocolate family’s home and Mr Chocolate thanks Mr Know for the lift and help he has given him and his family. He also asks Mr Know to check that their furniture is secure tomorrow morning before the truck comes to pick it up. Mr Know assures  Mr Chocolate he will.

The next morning Mr Know and Mrs Know with their twins hop to twin trunks to check that the Chocolate family’s furniture is secure. When they arrive at twin trunks they see a baby hedgehog and Ricky and Ruth rat there. "What are they doing here?" he wonders.

 Mr Know lifts the cover a bit… this is strange he thinks as he lifts the cover higher and sees that there is no furniture there but a gingerbread house. Now, Mr Know knows why the rats and hedgehog baby are there and that is because they could smell the gingerbread house. Mr Know realizes that they have just got there in time before the rats and hedgehog begin eating the gingerbread house.

He pulls the cover right off and goes inside and there is a note written by Mr Chocolate saying that the furniture was picked up delivered to the new site on the same day the house went. This gingerbread house is gift for all the rabbits at K. C. Bunnyborough to have.
Mr Know tells the rats and baby hedgehog that they are not to touch the gingerbread house until he lets all the rabbits know that it is here. 
The rabbits come and have a look then they knock it down so they can help themselves to as much gingerbread pieces of the house they can eat and carry home.

The Grayson rabbit family and Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail are first to pick up some pieces to take home.

They are followed by the Grayson Blue family, the Lemon family (with a wheelbarrow), the White family and Terry Tan.

Mr White invites all the rabbits back to his house for fellowship and a sing-a-long.

The rabbits all express how happy they are to have some much gingerbread pieces to eat and are very grateful to the Chocolate family for the surprise. They did leave plenty of pieces at twin trunks for the rats and hedgehog family to have.

After they ate all they could Mr White started playing the piano and the rabbits sang and danced late into the night.
