The lettuce

    Tony Rabbit and Angela Bunny were best friends. One day Tony decided to hop outside and bring back some exotic vegetables from the other neighboring fields instead of taking it from their meadow. Eventually, Tony Rabbit found the prize he had wanted a huge lettuce plant just sitting there however it was 3 times heavier than Tony could carry. Tony couldn't go back or else another hungry rabbit might steal the lettuce(Tony is not strong compared to other rabbits). However, he couldn't take it back without going back to the burrow for a wagon. So he decided to wait under the logic that when his friends came he could ask them to get the wagon while he guarded the lettuce. Unfortunately, they all forgot (there are many rabbits in Tony's clan who lived in a burrow) and only Angela remembered but never got the chance to tell anyone and also had a phobia of unfamiliar places.

     Soon, winter arrived and Tony slept around the lettuce for warmth and ate from it when he was hungry. Eventually after winter the lettuce was finished and Tony had no reason to stay around. However when he came back he learned that their burrow was suffering from hunger and Tony never came back with food. Only a few members of the burrow survived the winter and worked out a plan if this were to happen again.
