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. _Write and learn:_ Rabbits have-- Long ears. Large eyes. Long hind-legs. Warm fur. Rabbits eat-- Grass. |
