    Rats are very like mice. They have very hard tails. They live together and are very dangerous if you attack them. They live in sewers and carry disease.
    Rabbits are like cats. They are of different colours, white, black and brown. Men hunt them to sell them to people.
    Squirrels are reddish-brown in colour with a long tail. The height is about three inches. They live in holes of trees. They are very busy in Autumn collecting nuts for Winter. They are beautiful and harmless creatures.
