cute but dead

The children had a lesson in hunting and gathering today. They watched while a rabbit or two (or three) were dispatched, and helped carry the carcasses back across the field to be skinned for supper.

"cute, but dead" he said sadly, although he will enjoy the pie.

Always good to show kids the realities, and not wrap them in fluffy bunny wool!! Bet that rabbit pie tasted scrummy!

Helga - i prefer hare to rabbit, for preference.

Os - the neighbours here are all farmers, ready to fill the pot.
