Eight Baby Rabbits

Today, while I was washing the flower pots with water, baby rabbits suddenly came running out from the weed-covered ground. One, two… all the way to eight!

The sky was very cloudy, and it looked as if rain would start pouring at any moment. One thought immediately came to my mind: Could the baby rabbits die if they got wet?

I wandered around trying to find them. They were tiny. If I wasn’t careful, I could accidentally step on them. I found the first one. Even when I came very close, it didn’t seem to notice me. Were its eyes not developed enough to see the world yet?

I gently picked it up and returned it to its home. Then I did the same for two more. But I lost sight of the fourth one. Where were the others?

I’m so sorry, babies. I didn’t notice you were there. I pray that all of you will stay safe and make it through the night.
