Now it really looked like I was telling a big story. They kept laughing, even though I said it was true.
When I left school, I went back to where the rabbit was and, sure enough, there was my homework all rolled up by the side of the curb. The next time I went to school I was able to hand in my homework, which was a little mangled and dirty but still readable. To this day, they all laugh and talk about the day with the rabbit.
