Part 2 — THE RABBIT.
Reading edition
[Page 41.
1. The rabbit is about the size of the cat, and is covered with short fur. It burrows a hole in the ground and makes a nest there for its young.
2. Rabbits have long ears and large eyes. They can hear a very slight sound, and can see behind as well as before them.
3. Their hind-legs are longer than their fore-legs; so they do not run, but leap.
4. Rabbits like to live where there is plenty of furze, which they eat for food. They do much mischief in corn-fields by eating the young corn. They also eat the bark off young trees, and so spoil them.
