   The rabbit is a smaller animal than the hare not as fast. It lives in a burrow in the side of a fence. Its food consists of grass, turnips and cabbage. The people that kill rabbits eat them or sell them. Its flesh is white like a chicken. Very nice soup is made from a rabbit.
   An otter is another wild animal. It lives in water. It attacks the fishermen and often bites them. The people that go to kill it put cinders inside their socks for when it catches a grip of you he never loosens it until it hears the bone cracking.
