The Christmas Bunny Page #4

Dad. I think you better come.

Then we got tired of

shooting paper cups and,

and Johnny said he knew

where some squirrels were

and then we came back here

and then we didn't find any,

then we saw it and...

It's not going to die, is it?

Is it going to be okay?

I don't, ah, I don't know.

I don't, I don't think it's too bad,

I just think it's in shock.

I don't want the Easter Bunny to die...

Oh, oh honey, it's not going to die.

Daddy and Uncle Scott

are going to take good care of it. Okay?

Okay...

Come on, let's go in the house.

Chip, ah, have you got a box,

ah, of some kind,

maybe some old toweis or something,

- I don't think we should handle it too much.

- Yeah, you got it.

Yeah...

I want you two back in the house.

Take the guns with you.

Put them back in the boxes

and put the boxes in Uncle Chip's office.

And wait for me.

- Now.

- Okay, Uncle Scott.

Yes, sir...

- The poor thing.

- It's probably somebody's lost pet.

We don't have wild rabbits

like this in Michigan.

Should I call a vet?

Well, I don't know, it's Christmas Eve.

You could, ah, you could try.

Okay.

Scott, I catted Candy Reintges

and she wants to know

if we could drive All the way to Lansing.

Yeah, just a sec, I'll be right there.

Can you stay with it, Julia?

alright, don't touch it, okay,

just stay beside it, can you do that?

Okay.

You came back.

- Just have him call us as soon as he can.

- Later...

Are you sure you guys

are okay taking care of this?

Yeah, it's not a problem,

just, you know, enjoy your vacation.

We'll put a notice up at the market

on the way to the airport.

I'm sure somebody'll claim it.

That can only be good, right?

- Hey, Dad?

- Yeah?

When do you think

we can get the BB guns back?

I don't know, Bill.

When do you think you should get them back?

Like, when we're, like, twenty?

That sounds about right...

Kay, kids, go put your pajamas on,

Dad's going to build a fire and

we'll read Christmas stories before bed.

Hey, ah, Mom, can we watch

The Nightmare Before Christmas?

No, we cannot. We are going to read.

Honey, please go put your pajamas on

and then you can sit with the bunny, okay?

Julia.

Please, go your pajamas on.

Julia.

What do I do?

Julia, if you want to be with the bunny,

you've gotta get your pajamas on.

Otherwise I'm going to put it in our room.

Do you understand?

Thank you.

I'll get the wood.

...it was always said of him,

that he knew how to keep Christmas well,

if any man Alive possessed the knowledge.

May that be truly said of us,

and all of us!

And so, as Tiny Tim observed,

God Bless Us, Every one!

- Okay?

- Okay.

Come on, William, bedtime.

Santa here yet?

He's on the roof.
