Bunny Christmas end

[[Once upon a time. . . |1]]

[[there was a family of six happy bunnies that lived in a hollow tree.|2]] <img src="1.png" >

There was a mother and five children,(click:"children")[[[ and they all loved each other very much.|3]]] <img src="3.png" >

[[And so it was that they were happy in spring,|4]] <img src="4.png" >

[[happy in summer,|5]] <img src="5.png" >

[[happy in fall,|6]] <img src="6.png" >

And,(click:"And,")[ they were happy in winter as the year turned toward Bunny Christmas,](click:"Christmas,")[ all of them that is but one.](click:" but one")[[[You see, one little bunny was sad.|7]]] <img src="7.png" >

All the other little bunnies knew what they were going to give to their mother as presents,(click:"presents,")[but this bunny couldn't think of anything to give his mother.](click:" mother.")[ A big carrot?](click:"big carrot?")[ no. . . a new shawl?](click:"new shawl?")[ no. . . A coffee maker?](click:" coffee maker?")[ *sigh* [[no. . .|8]]] <img src="8.png" >

[[But then he remembered the story he had once heard from his grandma when he was ill.|9]] <img src="9.png" >

The story of the frost flower.(click:" frost flower.") [[[A magical plant with the most beautiful flower in all the forest|10]]] <img src="10.png" >

it only bloomed in the deepest darkest part of the forest in the [[dead of winter.|11]] <img src="11.png" >

He thought to himself that this was the only gift that would show [[how much he loved his mother.|12]] <img src="12.png" >

So,(click:"So,")[[[ while his family slept|13]]] <img src="13.png" >

he prepared himself and [[set out.|14]] <img src="14.png" >

With only his lantern to keep him company(click:" company")[ he ventured [[into the dark.|15]]] <img src="15.png" >

He didn't know where the flower was(click:" flower")[[[ but he knew who did.|16]]] <img src="16.png" >

He knew from the story that the only way to discover where the flower was was to ask the [[riddle tree|riddle]] <img src="17.png" >

Walking forward without the light of his lantern he saw his steps [[lighted by a soft cool glow.|18]] <img src="18.png" >

And then he saw it,(click:" it,")[[[ a single bloom.|19]]] <img src="19.png" >

[[But from the darkness he was seen too.|20]] <img src="20.png" >

No sooner had he picked the flower then a [[great and ravenous shadow appeared and chased after him.|21]] <img src="21.png" >

He hopped as fast as could into the darkness without any idea of where he was going.(click:" where he was going.")[[[ With every bound the monster closed on him.|22]]] <img src="22.png" >

[[And when he turned to look ahead|23]] <img src="23.png" >

he saw a great gorge where the frozen earth had cracked apart.(click:"he saw a great gorge where the frozen earth had cracked apart.")[[[He hopped his biggest ever hop. |24]]] <img src="24.png" >

[[and Just managed to catch hold of a root on the other side of the cliff.|25]] <img src="25.png" >

[[But the monster had legs for chasing and catching instead of hopping,|26]] <img src="26.png" >

[[and vanished back into the darkness from which it came.|27]] <img src="27.png" >

But try as he might his paw was too loose,(click:" his paw was too loose,")[ and he couldn't hold on.](click:" he couldn't hold on.")[[[ And The flower slips through his paws.|28]]] <img src="28.png" >

[[Into the dark as well.|29]] <img src="29.png" >

[[. . .|30]] <img src="30.png" >

[[When He climbs up onto the cliff he is a sad bunny.|31]] <img src="31.png" >

[[He is despondent.|32]] <img src="32.png" >

He failed.(click:"He failed.")[[[ He has nothing.|33]]] <img src="33.png" >

Nothing to show for his work.(click:"Nothing to show for his work.")[[[ And nothing to give his mother for a gift.|34]]] <img src="34.png" >

[[As he stands in front of the door he doesn't know what he will give or say.|35]] <img src="35.png" >

[[The door opens and his mother is standing in the doorway.|36]] <img src="36.png" >

[[He cries to her that he has nothing to give to her for Christmas.|37]] <img src="37.png" >

She scoops him up her arms(click:"She scoops him up her arms")[ Silly bunny, she says.](click:"Silly bunny, she says.")[ The only thing I want for Christmas is you] <img src="38.png" >
