The "They Multiply Just Like Rabbits" Story

It was an ordinary day. We had just picked up Hoppy, our pet rabbit from Mr. Mike Z. He was my daughter Brynn's second grade teacher and had agreed to keep the rabbit for the winter in his room with the other rabbit that he had. School is now almost over for the year so he was returning Hoppy to us for the summer. We are friends of Mike and his wife and Mike and I work together during the summer and I mentioned a year ago how we were going to have to keep our new pet rabbit Hoppy outdoors all winter and he suggested we bring him to the school in September and he would him in the same cage with the rabbit he just got for his classroom. Since they were both males and both rather young, he thought there would be no problem. The students in his class really liked the rabbits and learned to care for them and to be responsible for cleaning them. Didn't seem to be any problems. Until they both started to mature a little more and Mike realized that his rabbit wasn't a "male." Well, in the spring the students discovered there were two more rabbits in the cage with Hoppy and his "wife." Kind of adds a whole new perspective to the learning curve for second graders. Knowing Mike, he handled it just right. The baby rabbits ended up in new homes and Hoppy, much to his disappointment, was returned to the LDub household. I'm afraid next winter, Hoppy will be spending his time in the backyard. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
