In a land before time there rode a gallant knight who happened upon a rabbit in the woods. He asked, "Tis the season, prithee may I ask if thou art the Easter Bunny?"
To which the pink hare replied, "Nay, sir. I am no fluffy Easter rabbit. I am the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog, of which legend tells."
Our knight scoffed at such a notion saying, "Thou art too cute to be such a magical, fearsome beast. Ha, ha. I applaud your bravado but will tarry no longer as I continue my quest." So he passed on.
How our bunny did fume and look vexed, in an adorable fashion, and wonder to herself, "How can I prove who I am and avenge myself on yonder knight?"
Then she hit on a plan."I will use one of the magical Carrots of Attraction that the wizard gave me and steal away that arrogant knave's pretty steed!"
With her plan thus hatched, our bunny laid her trap. With the power of the enchanted root vegetable, she did not wait long to ensnare her prey. For a horse can no more resist a carrot than a moth refrain from a torch's flame.
Having misplaced his trusty mount, the knight searched hither and yon until he came upon this scene of siren's song. He exclaimed, "Horse, what spellcraft is this? Why hast thou forsaken me?"
Then he espied the mystical root and cried out as if in a trance, "So orange. So tasty. Must. Have. Carrot." and proceeded to sit himself down to dinner.
Our bunny temptress, not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, exulted, "Methinks this be a fair and honorable trade." as she rode off into the sunset.
Happy Easter to all!
