Give Me Back That Carrot, Santa!


What’s that flying down the chimney? It’s Santa Claus! He jumps out of the fireplace, stuffs the Christmas tree with gifts, eats a handful of cookies, and steps outside to enjoy a short rest. Peering curiously from behind a bush, Busy Bunny surveys Santa’s sleigh and spots the gift he has been good for all year long: a giant carrot! Santa Claus spots Bunny and sees him eyeing the carrot. He takes it out of the sleigh and reads the tag…”That’s funny,” he mutters. He hands the carrot slowly to Busy Bunny — and halts. “There must be a mix-up, Busy Bunny. This isn’t your carrot — it’s the reindeers’ treat. If you eat this carrot, by golly, you’d be able to fly!”
Slowly he brings the carrot back to his sleigh, and suddenly Busy Bunny hops forward mightily. “Santa Claus, I’ve been good all year. Please give me back that carrot!”
Santa pauses. “Well, since you said please…”
Did Santa give Busy Bunny a magic carrot? Can rabbits fly? The world may never know…

Busy Bunny wishes you the happiest of holidays!
