The Dumb Rabbit

A short Story by Ricardo Siri

Trevor was a rabbit but he knew in his heart that he should have been a Mountain lion. As a child he knew that he was different but he didn't know why. Until His 17 birthday when he learned that he had a little known Disease called Dumb Rabbit Syndrome. Dumb Rabbit Syndrome Causes the Diseased Person to be very silly and Also causes them to Sleepwalk. After he found out that he had the Dumb Rabbit Syndrome he started asking other Mountain lions If they had Dumb Rabbit Syndrome as well. They promptly responded by saying Roooooaoooroaor!!!!!!! This frightened Trevor and he asked "whats wrong man its just a question, you need to take some chill pills" Then The Mountain lion said "sorry about that Its a just a condition, also why would I Have dumb Rabbit Syndrome? I'm a Mountain Lion. Also hello my name is Fredrico" Trevor Responded by saying "Well I am a mountain lion as well." "Well you look like a rabbit to me, I am sorry if that offends you or something but you look like a rabbit and that is that." Said Fredrico the mountain Lion. "THAT IS VERY OFFENSIVE" Trevor said, and with nothing but the swish of his ears he was gone.

That night after the incident with Fredrico the Mountain lion Trevor was very sad so he made himself a nice bowl of carrot soup. Then he went and watched his favorite television show, Mountain lions and their habits and Habitats. This show always helped him to hone his skills a bloodthirsty feline. Then he went to bed but not before listening to his favorite country radio station, Mountain Country 101.8

The next day Trevor Went for a walk and got lost. While he was trying to find his way home he found a carrot garden. He went into the garden and found a man who looked nice. The man was actually the owner of the garden and was mad that the rabbit was stealing his veggies. Then the man picked up Trevor and put him in a stew, bones, fur, and all. As he was simmering in the stew he started thinking about his life and if he was really a mountain lion. He thought for a while and came to the conclusion that There was a mix up when the storks gave him to the rabbits and that he was indeed a mountain lion.

In a crazy turn of events Trevor Channeled his inner mountain lion and leapt out of the stew with his feet kicking! "wow" thought Fredrico the mountain lion who was watching from the window "maybe he really is a mountain lion!" . As Trevor jumped into action he saw the Fredrico outside of the window of the old man's hut and asked "care to help bud" and Fredrico Jumped into action. Fredrico Raked his claws across the old man's face and Trevor Kicked the old man in the back throwing his spine out of place. In the end the old man would not bother Trevor anymore and Fredrico was now his best and only friend.

Don't look at this picture until you read the last paragraph.

Does this story have a moral you may ask? well yes it does and if you thought it was that you can be whatever you want to be you are wrong. The real moral of the story is to wear your seat belt when driving and also don't drink bad stuff while you drive like we learned in health class.
