One day, Mrs. Beemer looked out the kitchen window and saw her Doberman carrying in its mouth a rabbit. Mrs. Beemer froze in her tracks! Her next-door-neighbors had raised rabbits for many years. She was sure that her dog had killed one of their beloved bunnies. Mrs. Beemer had no idea how to apologize to her neighbors. They would never trust her again if they found out. Mrs. Beemer got the dead rabbit away from her dog and took it inside. She washed it thoroughly, moussed and blow-dried its fur, and then snuck it back into her neighbors'' rabbit cage late that night.

The next day, she went to borrow a cup of sugar from her neighbors. She hoped to pick up some information about the rabbit while she was there. Her neighbor seemed rather distracted.

"Oh, Mrs. Beemer, you just won't believe what happened!"

"Well," the neighbor began, "this morning we found a rabbit out in our rabbit pen..."

"Isn't that where it's supposed to be?" interjected Mrs. Beemer.

"Not this one," the neighbor continued. "We buried this one out in the backyard two days ago."
