Each animal had a job to do, they had a chart that had all the ani- mals names that kept track of all the jobs being done. Jobs: Christmas trees, Sparrows, Browny Bear, Bouncy Bunny, Wilma Weasel. Dec- orations: Bobby Bear:, Foxy Fox, Timmy Turtle. Games: Elky Elk, Wilma Wilabce, Skinky Skunk. In charge: Owly Owl. All thc animals signed up. But where's Baby Bunny and her family? Owly Owl the president calls a meeting to the Great Oak where the cart is placed. "We are gathered here to find out where Baby Bunny and her family arc "I know where they are" said someone, "Who said that" asked Wilma Weasel. It was such a weak sound that only the animals with sharp hearing could hear it. "I said it" cried the little voice. "I did the reason why you can't hardly see or hear me is because I'm so small. My name is Mrs. Mouse and Baby Bunny is very sick so sick he might, she might. "Don't say such bad things cried Baby Bear. "She's my friend in fact she's my best friend and I don't believe it" and a little tear fell from his little brown eyes, "Come and sec" said Mrs. Mouse "Follow me", so all the ani- mals followed Mrs. Mouse deep into the woods to a burrow at the bottom of a big oak tree. "Baby Bunny is in there in bed, poor little thing, she looks so sick" said Mrs. Mouse walking into the burrow with a sad look on her face telling three small animals to follow her. Cccily Squirrel, Chippy Chip- munk and Wilma Wilabec were the animals that went into see Baby Bunny, she was lying on the bed sleeping with a wet cloth on her forehead. Cecily Squirrel suddenly runs over to the side of the bed fol- lowed by the others. "Shhh" said Chippy "You're going to wake her up. "Poor little thing and it's only six days until Christmas, if she doesn't get better she might have to go to Greenwood Hospital and miss Christmas" says Mrs. Mouse. "That would be the most terrible thing that has ever happened in Greenwood Forest, one of the baby animals missing onc of the hest holidays" "You know what we need?" says Wilma Wilabce "What- "A mira- cle". - It was two days until Christmas and Baby Bunny still wasn't any better. All the decoctions were up but it wasn't any fun for anyone without, Baby. The animals stopped by every day to bring her lot's of things that she likes car- rots, lettuce and lot's more. But she still wasn't any better. The next day the animals stopped by and it was Dec. 24. "Oh no" shouted Chippy Chipmunk when he looked at the calendar "It's Christmas tomorrow!" "Oh no" groaned everybody what if she still isn't bcttcr: "Well, we'll just have to wait until tomorrow" said Mrs. Mouse with a very sad look on her face. The next day was Christmas and every little baby ani- mal woke up with happy grins. Ex- cept for Mrs. Mouse, Wilma Wila- bee, Baby Bunnies, parents and all the other older animals.

Councillor g Tom Humphreys they came out of. their houses they saw Baby Bunny under the Green- wood forest square Christmas tree 'gazing at a huge, gigantic star, the biggest, star the animals had ever seen. The biggest surprise was seeing Baby Bunny standing there under the tree. They all ran, over to Baby Bunny but she didn't move it seemed to be the star was holding him under a trance. "Baby Sunny" cried Mr. and Mrs. Bunny and they ran up to her and hugged and kissed her when a tear dropped onto her little bunny car when she suddenly sprang into her father's arms. "Oh Baby Bunny we're so glad to sec you walking around again" shouted r all the animals. "But how did you get better all of a sudden and what are your doing out here"! "Well" said baby Bunny "I don't know how I got sick but all of a sudden I was under complete control by that star and the next thing I knew was that I came out here and was standing next to this tree,but the good news is we're all happy and we'll be to- gether this Christmas after that and forever. " "That's right Baby Bun- ny" and they all walked to forest Hall to celebrate Christmas. And all lived happily ever after!
