It didn't take long for the rabbit to spot the wolf cub in the moonlight. Small as it was, they were very nearly the same size. It made a few curious sounds that drew the rabbit over.

《It doesn't look like one of mine.》 said the rabbit.

When he turned to seek Grandmother's attention he could not see her. She had tawdled off somewhere and left him alone in the dark with the small thing. 《'Help an old woman out,' she said. 'It'll be an adventure,' she said... Psssh!》

Rabbit turned to the cub and sniffed at its face. He nipped at the pathetic little ears as if tugging them would make them sprout to match his own. He even tried jostling at the creature's belly with taps of his fists.

《You are one sad rabbit.》 the boy surmised.
