rabbit's gift

[Music]

rabbit's gift by george shannon

illustrated by laura dronzek

rabbit

rabbit twitched his nose in the cold

damp air

time to find food

more snow was coming

coming soon

he hopped and pawed through the field

till he found a turnip

[Music]

then a second one too

quickly as he could rabbit rolled them

home

[Music]

rabbit grinned as he nibbled

a turnip always makes for a cozy meal

warm and safe he thought about donkey

alone on the hill and wondered if she'd

found enough to eat

[Music]

rabbit gently butted his extra turnip to

donkey's house

[Music]

but donkey wasn't there

rabbit left the turnip by the door

[Music]

then hopped back home

as his tracks disappeared in the falling

snow

[Music]

donkey

when donkey returned with a potato she'd

found she nearly steps on the turnip by

the door

oh

who could have left this my surprise

asked donkey

my potato is plenty for me

goat's always hungry i'll take this to

him

[Music]

donkey hurried to her neighbors

but goat wasn't there

donkey left the turnip by the door

[Music]

then climbed back home

as her tracks disappeared in the falling

snow

[Music]

when goat returned with a cabbage he'd

found he nearly stepped on the turnip by

the door

dear me

said goat someone's lost a turnip

and with all this snow

maybe it was dear when she passed this

way

goat tucked his cabbage inside the door

then rolled the turnip around the bend

to dear's house

but deer wasn't there

goat left the turnip by the door

[Music]

then trudged back home as his tracks

disappeared in the falling snow

[Music]

dear

when dear came home with a carrot sheet

found she nearly stepped on the turnip

by the door

how kind said dear someone's left me a

gift

but there's no need to keep more than i

can eat

with the snow this deep

rabbit couldn't have found much food

[Music]

deer took high steps through the deep

deep snow

[Music]

rabbit was home but sound asleep

deer left the turnip by the door

then leaped back home

as her tracks disappeared in the falling

snow

the next morning rabbit woke up early

after a nibble of his turnip he was

ready to play

but as he stepped outside

rabbit tripped on another turnip lying

by the door

who in the woods could have brought me

this

rabbit looked for tracks but the night's

fresh snow had erased everything

[Music]

i don't know who to thank

then rabbits slowly grinned

but i know just who to share it with

yes

a turnip always makes for a cozy meal

the end

didn't you love how they each gave the

turnip away to somebody
