THE RABBIT. [_Page 41._


1. The rabbit is about the size of the cat, and is covered with short
fur. It burrows a hole in the ground and makes a nest there for its
young.

2. Rabbits have long ears and large eyes. They can hear a very slight
sound, and can see _behind_ as well as before them.

3. Their hind-legs are longer than their fore-legs; so they do not run,
but leap.

4. Rabbits like to live where there is plenty of furze, which they eat
for food. They do much mischief in corn-fields by eating the young corn.
They also eat the bark off young trees, and so spoil them.
