00:00Look up, look down, look all around. Up in the air or on the ground. Come for a walk, come for a ride. There's so much to see, so come outside.
00:27We've got long ears. We keep them clean. Our eyes are big and bright. We live in burrows underground and hide there out of sight. What are we? We're rabbits.
00:57Are you going to sit there all day? Oh, hello, me dears. Pippin's sulking. We've got a visitor staying and he's getting all the attention. She doesn't like that. Come and meet him.
01:15This is a rabbit hutch.
01:23And this is Bobby. He belongs to my sister Edie. But I'm looking after him while she's on holidays. Isn't he lovely?
01:41His fur's so soft and silky. Look at his little nose twitching. All rabbits do that. Come and look, Pippin.
01:56She will in a minute. And he's got a fluffy little tail.
02:02There, Bobby. You run around and get some exercise.
02:08This fence is to keep him in. Otherwise, he might run away. And Edie would not like that.
02:18Inside his hutch, he's got two rooms. This is his living room. He can look out with a wire. And this is his bedroom. It's cosy and dark in here.
02:38He likes to sleep on straw. It's nice and comfortable.
02:58Oh, that's good. They're making friends.
03:04He's nice, isn't he, Pippin?
03:12Yes.
03:17Oh, I know a place where there are lots of rabbits. Pippin, it's time to fly.
03:34Please, Pippin.
03:35Oh, I know a place where there are lots of animals in room here, darling.
03:39That's母-ing.
03:44It was dabei-ing.
03:45OK, we're going to get one to all three of us.
03:47This is troscared dome, so you're going to add they will take a few� here.
03:49To do it, it will take a few� to three-pump per minute.
03:55Eventually we're there.
03:57My 1980s were all out in a waterproof wire that wasdireивал Below Miami.
03:58It's not too disassembled, this is going to find them being to disease through the bridge.
03:59That's not too bright.
04:01Here we are, Pippin.
04:26That's where the rabbits live.
04:29Oh, rabbits.
04:31If we keep very quiet and still, we might see some rabbits.
04:52There they are.
04:55No, Pippin, you can't chase them.
04:57They live in burrows under the ground.
05:12And they come out to look for food.
05:21They eat grass, plants, berries, corn, carrots, lettuce.
05:31There's a nature park near here, where they've got some baby rabbits.
05:39Come on.
05:45Baby rabbits are called kittens, just like baby cats.
05:50Hello, Auntie Mabel.
05:53Hello.
05:57How old are these kittens?
05:59They're four weeks old.
06:03Would you like to hold one?
06:05Yes, please.
06:05Oh, Pippin, look.
06:20Small ball of fur, so soft and so gentle.
06:34Your mother is watching, as proud as can be.
06:38Soon, you'll be running through fields of fresh clover.
06:44With others beside you, you'll run wild and free.
06:50Bright eyes that stare and look out for danger.
06:55Nose that is twitching and sniffing the air.
07:00Years tall and straight, that can hear every sound.
07:06You'll explore field and woodland, as far as you dare.
07:12Rabbit so quiet, so soft and so gentle.
07:17Be safe in your burrow, by night and by day.
07:23Soon you'll have young of your own to look after.
07:28Take care, little rabbit.
07:30Go bravely on your way.
07:44Dandelion and cabbage leaves for Bobby.
07:47There you are, Bobby.
07:48You must be hungry.
07:50And I need a nice cup of tea.
07:58I know a story about a rabbit.
08:26Rabbit, his name is Br'er Rabbit.
08:35Br'er Rabbit was always getting into trouble.
08:38But then, he always found a way out.
08:42One day, he came across a well with a bucket hanging in it.
08:46The bucket looked just the right size for a rabbit to curl up in and go to sleep.
08:55But Br'er Rabbit didn't know that the bucket was tied to a rope.
09:00And on the other end of the rope, down at the bottom of the well, was another bucket.
09:05Br'er Rabbit climbed in.
09:10Now, with Br'er Rabbit in it, the bucket at the top was heavier than the bucket at the bottom.
09:17So, what happened?
09:23Down went Br'er Rabbit in his bucket.
09:26Up came the other bucket.
09:28They passed each other halfway and then...
09:32Splash!
09:33Br'er Rabbit's bucket landed in the water.
09:36How was he going to get out again?
09:42Br'er Fox was passing by and he heard the splash.
09:47He looked into the well and called out.
09:51Is anyone there?
09:54It's only me, answered Br'er Rabbit.
09:57And I'm fishing.
10:01Fishing?
10:02Asked Br'er Fox.
10:04Are there fish in the well?
10:07Br'er Fox liked fish.
10:10Oh, hundreds, answered Br'er Rabbit.
10:14In fact, too many for me to carry.
10:17Why don't you come down and help me?
10:20So, Br'er Fox climbed into the other bucket.
10:24Now, Br'er Fox was much heavier than Br'er Rabbit.
10:31So, what happened?
10:34Down went Br'er Fox in his bucket.
10:37Up came Br'er Rabbit in the other bucket.
10:40They passed each other halfway and then...
10:43Splash!
10:45Br'er Fox's bucket landed in the water.
10:48And Br'er Rabbit jumped out.
10:51Br'er Bear was passing by and he heard the splash.
10:57What's going on?
11:00He asked.
11:01Br'er Fox is fishing in the well, answered Br'er Rabbit.
11:07And as Br'er Bear looked into the well,
11:10Br'er Rabbit went home.
11:13I wonder what happened next.
11:20What do you think?
11:24Oh, I don't think I gave the rabbit any water, did I?
11:28I'd better go and see.
11:30Oh, goodness gracious me!
11:44The hutch is open!
11:48How did that happen?
11:50Was it that naughty Pippin?
12:03Did she open the gate so the rabbit could run away?
12:05Oh!
12:06I can't find him.
12:28I'll have to phone Edie and tell her what's happened.
12:31Hello?
12:42Is that the Grand Hotel?
12:44Could I speak to Edie Featherstone, please?
12:51Oh, hello, Edie.
12:54It's Mabel.
12:55Um, about your rabbit.
12:58Well, uh, your rabbit is...
13:03Oh...
13:06Your rabbit is curled up in Pippin's basket.
13:12Oh...
13:13Yes.
13:15Yes, Edie, I know I didn't have to call just to tell you that.
13:20Oh, Pippin, you are a clever dog.
