It would be helpful if I could get back in my hole, but there are two men hiding behind the bushes where it is located.  You’d think a fox must be after them they’re shaking that much.  And the master of the house is stamping around with another man.  Go away the lot of you, I want to go home.

I love the fact you haven't gone for the obvious: the spaniel or the horse. You've picked up on the "two bunny-rabbits" detail ^^

That night there was "a bit of moon". The supernatural element at the haunted crypt couldn't be a were-bunny, could it..? ^^"

Well, it appeared that the bunny had rather strong opinions of the whole episode.

The were-bunny didn't really exist - it was just an invention to keep curious little bunnies away from the crypt. However, it would appear that the humans didn't know this and the speed of their flight would have made anyone believe in this supernatural being.

Oh, poor thwarted bunny. Hope no harm befalls him while he waits to get to safety.

Fortunately for him the presence of so many humans was sufficient to scare off any predators.

I shall sleep at nights now then:-p

Oh, poor rabbit! Rush hour traffic is the worst. ;-)

Quite. He was not amused.

A common thread of these is how incredibly annoying the human world is to the animal kingdom. People just never seem to get out of the way! :)

The ocelot replies: There are times when we are delighted to see you, many of the dogs and horses have been happy to be of assistance, even if slightly confused by your intentions. However, it should be made clear that humans should stay indoors at night-time and especially at all times refrain from dropping revolvers off bridges on the heads of unsuspecting moorhens.
