A little rabbit popped out from beneath the garden's tree. Its nose twitched as it looked about, ears twisting this way and that as if to catch the slightest sound.
At last, the rabbit seemed satisfied the the way was safe, and darted out from beneath the tree and into the garden. There, it nibbled on the vegetables, only pausing to reach for danger every few mouthfuls..
From underneath the back porch, eyes gleamed with deadly intent as they watched the rabbit.
A moment came at last where the rabbit was distracted ny a particularly tasty cabbage.
By the time it head the dog, it was too late.
Or so it seemed, until the chain connected to the dog's collar ran out of slack just before the dog could enter the garden.
The rabbit took that brief moment where the dog's own momentum jerked it back to run, bolting for the garden's tree.
A tree that was within reach of the dog's chain.
With the quick dog snapping at its tail, the rabbit ran with all its might, diving for the safety of its burrow.
The dog, left with nothing but a dirt covered nose, eventually gave up with a growl and returned to its place beneath the back porch.
