Just outside the front door, they set down a huge basket. “This pie is delicious,” said Rabbit a loudly as she could. “Try this sandwich,” said Squirrel, just as loudly. For almost and hour Rabbit and Squirrel pretended to eat all kinds of tasty food. Rat heard them. “That picnic sound more delicious than acorns,” he thought. He walked over to Squirrel and Rabbit, and they invited him to eat. T357

“We are finished eating,” said Rabbit. “But there is more food in the basket,” said Squirrel.

Just reach in further.” Rat could just taste the food already. He leaned in as far as he could. Soon only his long skinny tail was sticking out of the basket. And at that moment, Squirrel rushed over and pushed Rat inside the basket. With a loud Snap! Rabbit locked it shut. “That will teach you to be greedy,” said the Squirrel. “Now you can stay in there and listen while we enjoy an acorn feast!” And then she and Rabbit did just that. T359
