Tantei A And The Bunny --------------------------- The peaceful stillness of the Japanese countryside was broken by a scream of surprised anger. A few animals darted their heads this way and that in surprise. Some, sensing the arrival of some strange new arrival, fled to the safety of their homes. The being who had screamed stuck his muzzle out of the pile of leaves he had fallen into and shook it. He darted his head this way and that and tilted it quizzically. A mother rabbit, who wasn't sure what to make of this funny new arrival, went over to him. It sniffed him curiously and nudged his muzzle. The being laughed, briefly, then simply slumped forward and started to cry. The rabbit hopped onto the creature's leg, causing the creature to cry out in pain. When the creature stopped, the rabbit hopped back and hopped onto his leg again. Same results. Realizing the creature was hurt, the rabbit grabbed him by the collar and tried to drag him home with her. When that didn't work, she resolved to bring him food every day until he was better. Finally, he was well again. His leg had mended and he was able to leave. He was a few yards away when he heard a hunter approaching. "Delicious rabbit meat at two o'clock." The hunter announced as he spotted the owner of the meat in question nibbling on some wild vegetation. Remembering the kindness shown to him, the alien slipped up behind the hunter without the slightest sound, and put his gun to the man's head. "Pissed off bat with a gun at six o'clock." he whispered. The hunter ran off.
