The Bunny in the Box

A/N: My first story ever, written when I was six. I drew pictures to go with it too, and entered it in a contest. I've come a way since then, in case you're wondering...

Trixie was a pet bunny. Brian and Amanda loved to play with her. Once, they put a light cardboard box over her. Trixie tried to hop out. The children laughed merrily at the hopping box!

One day, the Green family was packing up everything to move to a new home. Trixie got into the house. She jumped into a box full of stuffed animals.

Mrs. Green sealed the box and Mr. Green put it into the moving truck. No one heard Trixie's cries. The truck drove off.

Trixie gnawed a hole in the box. She could breathe easier and soon fell asleep.

Finally, the truck stopped. The boxes were unloaded. Trixie woke up. She cried pitifully and tried to get out. Brian and Amanda saw the box rocking.

They rushed over and opened it. Trixie jumped into Brian's arms. They were all glad to see each other.
