After breakfast, Alyosha and Father and all the friends start to the park where rabbits live. The park is rather far and in ten minutes Moc says, “I am tired.”

“Me too,” Happy Hop says.

“I am not tired, Bertha is not tired, why are you tired?” Timoshka asks.

“Because they are small, smaller than you and Bertha. And their legs are small too,” Alyosha explains. “Their legs are smaller than your legs.”

“Alyosha, Alyosha, may I sit in your pocket?” Moc asks.

“Me too,” Happy Hop says.

Alyosha takes his small friends and puts them into his pocket.

It is so nice to sit in the pocket so high, much higher than Timoshka and Bertha!

Now they can go quick, much quicker than before.

When they come to the park Moc suddenly cries, “I see a small white rabbit! There under that big tree! Near a big hole. And he looks very sad.”

“It is my brother Nicky,” Ricky says, “And this is our den. Let’s go quicker!”

“Wait,” Alyosha says, “let’s make a surprise for Nicky.”

He goes to the small white rabbit and asks, “Are you Nicky?”

“Yes, I am,” the rabbit answers.

“And why are you so sad?” Alyosha asks.

“Because I don’t know where my brother Ricky is,” Nicky says. “In the morning he was afraid of a big dog and ran away and now I don’t know where he is.”

“Surprise!” the friends cry and Ricky comes to his brother.

Nicky is happy.

Ricky is happy.

Timoshka, Bertha and Moc are happy.

Happy Hop is jumping very high because he is very happy.

Alyosha and Father are smiling, they are happy too.

“Thank you, my friends,” Ricky says. “You helped me to find my family.”

“Come to play with us someday,” Alyosha says, “you both.”
