Topic > JACK'S PROMISE - 930

It was a bright, sunny morning in the Magic Woods, and Jack Bunny was fast asleep. His mother was in the kitchen making carrot cookies and the wonderful smell of warm cookies woke Jack up. He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and twitched his nose. Something smelled good! He twitched his nose again. Something smelled very good! He jumped out of bed and ran into the kitchen. "Mom, mom," Jack said, "those cookies smell so good they woke me up! Can I have some? Please?" “I'm making these cookies for Grandma Bunny.”, Mom replied. "She's not feeling well and I think some homemade cookies might help her feel better." "Can I bring biscuits to grandma?" asked little Jack. Mom thought about it for a moment. The Magic Forest could be a dangerous place for a little rabbit all alone. There was still so much for Jack to learn about the Woods. But Grandma didn't live far away, and Mom and Jack had gone to Grandma's house together many times. "Jack, you've never gone to visit grandma alone before. There are all kinds of dangers, so many things can happen. You have to promise. You tell me that you won't stop along the way, you won't go near the clearing to pick flowers, you won't go to the stream to look at the fish and stay on the path to Granny, promise?” "Oh, yes, mother, I promise! I will not stop along the road, I will not go into the clearing to pick wildflowers, I will not watch the fish swim in the stream, and I will stay on the path to Grandma's house." . And I'll call you as soon as I get to Grandma, so you don't worry!" "Okay, then you can go to Grandma and bring her cookies," said Mom. "Yipee!!" - Jack shouted as he ran down the hall to get dressed. After breakfast, Mother gave Jack a nice... half a sheet... find it? Jack's heart was pounding as he ran the rest of the way to Grandma's house. He went up the steps and knocked very loudly the door and Jack jumped into his arms! “Jack! Your mom told me you were coming! Boy, you're becoming such a big bunny that you can visit it yourself now!" Grandma exclaimed. Jack gave Grandma a big kiss and the yellow basket was filled with cookies. "Grandma, can I call Mommy?" Jack asked. "The I promised I would call her as soon as I arrived so she wouldn't worry. I kept all the other promises I made to Mom on the way here and I wouldn't want to break this one. I also want to ask you Mom will come and eat cookies with us so she and I can go home together. Even though I'm old enough to come visit on my own, I'd rather have Mommy with me." Grandma smiled. "You're a very smart little bunny, Jack. Let's go call mom now."
