The Bench

The young rabbit couple is content – their new and beautiful backyard is finally complete. Now, if only they could get rid of that old bench – it just doesn’t match the new garden furniture any more, and no one sits on it anyway. Mr. Rabbit hoists the bench onto his back and sets off towards the river, to toss the useless bench into a bonfire pit. On his way there, a lynx offers to help. Since the bench is quite heavy, the friends decide to take a break and share some stories. Before long, a squirrel, a moose, and a bear offer their help in carrying the bench as well. Isn't it wonderful to have such a bench to rest tired legs, to snack, and to tell stories?
