（０８）Ｔｗｏ　ｒａｂｂｉｔｓ

Ms. Merci is kept at home. The most important job for me is to sleep well in order to maintain physical strength so that I can play a role as a guard dog in case of an emergency.

However, it's boring to just sleep, so I sometimes play with toys from the toy box. I take my favorite toy out of the toy box and play with it.

This time, I would like to introduce my “Rabbits''.

There are two rabbits in the toy box: a white rabbit with long ears and a pink rabbit with short ears. My recent favorite is the white rabbit with long ears. It has long ears, which I can use to carry it.

Please look at the picture. Don't you think Ms.Merci is bullying the rabbit?

No way! In the picture, Ms. Merci may appear to be biting and bullying the rabbit. Yet, I only bite it gently. I’m just shaking hands with the rabbit. I think the rabbit knows she isn’t being bitten by Ms. Merci.

Eh, Dad is saying something. "I’ve searched on the Internet and found that there are black and white rabbits, so it is possible to make Meru-chan rabbit-like with a costume." He continued, "Black and white rabbits have white tunny hair, though.” Dad said with excitement. “Is the hair on your tummy white?” he asked me. Of course, it’s white. You know, I’m not haraguroi (black-bellied)!
※haraguroi (Japanese) literally means “malicious”

Ms. Merci remembers a nursery rhyme “Rabbit, Rabbit,”
which goes,”Usagi Usagi, nani mite haneru. /Jyugoya otsukisama mite haneru.”
(Rabbit, Rabbit, what are you looking at and jumping? / I’m jumping, looking at
the fifteen nights moon.)
