The Snowy Day

Written by: Nasratullah Samim

Once upon a time, there were three rabbits: White, Yellow, and Piebald living in a jungle. they were best friends and always were playing together. One-day, while it was snowing and the weather was very cold, they arranged a picnic. Each of them took some carrots in bags and entered to a cave.

They were happy and singing songs. After a while, they brought out the carrots from their bags and ate them. Yellow and White worried about the cold winter and they had not enough carrots. They said that next year, they would plant many carrots. Piebald said that she has an idea for next year that she would have more carrots than others.

The winter passed. All the three rabbits collected the carrots and stored them but Piebald’s carrots were less than others. Yellow asked her that why your carrots are less. Piebald said that she has stored more carrots than them and then she took them to the place where she had a big store of carrots under the dry leaves of the trees. Yellow and White asked them to dig the ground and put the carrots in it but Piebald said that when she collects enough carrots, she would bury them in the ground.

After passing some months, the weather got cold again, Piebald invited her friends to help her in burying carrots. They came and unveiled the carrots under the leaves. They saw that all carrots were spoiled. Piebald became very sad and she said that she would not have any carrot to eat in the winter. White and Yellow promised to help her with some carrots in the winter. Piebald was regretful that why she did not accept her friend’s guidance.
