"Cali's Haven"
Henry the
Rabbit
The forest is
filled with small creatures, some barely noticeable
Because they tend to blend in with the foliage.
Henry the rabbit is just such a character. But being
A friend to Maccaroon the raccoon was indeed a wonderful
Thing for he became known to Geronimo (the elf) All
His life Henry was a bit shy but did love carrots so he would
Come out to get the spring crop. From the time he was a
Baby bunny that was his delicacy. (It’s a rabbit thing you know)
But he was never stingy for it was his delight to share.
Unlike his brother and sister rabbits who were selfish and noisy
too.
His parents had provided a wonderful little cave to live in
Surrounded by plenty of greens. But one day Henry ran over to
Maccaroon's crying huge tears of sadness. Some big People found their home and took his parents away.
"Help! Help!" cried Henry. I am too young to be an orphan.
He and his friend the raccoon sneaked up to where the people lived
And sure enough his parents were in a cage.
Maccaroon sent up a verdant plea to the Lord and asked for help.
Like a flash Geronimo appeared on the scene. After investigating
The situation there was only one thing to do. The lord had given
Him a key to fit any lock and with Maccaroon & Henry steadying
Him, he was able to climb the cage. He put the key in the lock but
then heard a low voice: the people were coming. He shinnied down
The cage and hid at the bottom. The man opened the cage and when
He reached in to grab one of Henry’ parents. Maccaroon and Henry
started to run in different directions. Being very greedy the man
tried to catch them, but of course, Geronimo pushed a branch in the way.
The man fell and they all escaped.
Henry and his folks were indebted to Geronimo and the Lord. They
Swore if they were ever needed they would do all they could to
Show their gratitude.
With this they all went home and Geronimo laughed under his
Breath at the way the man tumbled. Another grand tale for God from
His servant Geronimo
