Question

The brown owl sat on a branch and watched. He was good at watching. His big eye's blinked (眨眼睛). Down below, a white rabbit played in the grass.

The rabbit was very fast. He was too fast to catch. Every time the owl tried to catch the rabbit, the rabbit ran away.

The owl was hungry, but he had to find a way to catch the rabbit. How could he catch the fast rabbit? If he flew down on top of him, the rabbit would see his shadow(影子) and run into his hole. What could he do?

Suddenly, the owl had an idea. His eyes got really big, because he was excited. A moment later, he took off.

When the owl was flying, he made sure to stay away from the rabbit. The owl didn’t want the rabbit to know he was coming. Then, when he came close to the rabbit, he spread his body to change the shape of his shadow!

The white rabbit stopped eating grass and looked. Suddenly, there was a black rabbit next to him. The white rabbit looked at it. He didn’t know there was a black rabbit near his home. It looked like he could make a new friend!

Suddenly, the black rabbit disappeared, and in its place was the owl. The rabbit cried out and tried to run for his hole, but the owl was waiting for him. The rabbit ran right into the owl’s claws and became his dinner.
