A story about Gilbey...

Early one spring morning Purvy and Hetty woke up and got ready to start the day. Hetty cooked breakfast while Purvy went out to check on his baby calves. On his way out the front door something caught his eye. Right in the next paddock there were two rabbits, digging a hole!
Mr and Mrs Bunny had just hopped over from the far paddock, looking for a new home. They were looking for a suitable place to raise all their children and had just found the perfect spot. Well that would be fine and dandy, but on farms, rabbits are not welcome! They eat crops that are needed for stock, and dig dangerous holes all over the place. Purvy decided that enough was enough and snuck back inside to get his gun.
Just as he had the two bunnies lined up in the scope of his gun, he saw a large brown nose come into the picture. He took his finger off the trigger and laid down the gun, only to see Gilbey telling Mr and Mrs Bunny that they had better move quickly because it wasn’t really a suitable place to stay! As Purvy watched, Mr and Mrs Bunny thanked Gilbey and hopped off. Gilbey lifted his head, winked and grinned at Purvy then trotted off.
Purvy could only shake his head and laugh, Gilbey is such a character!
