Once upon a time there was a little jack rabbit that had tiny, tiny ears and little legs. His main problem was that he could hear or get around very easily. His home was under this big oak tree in the forest, it was very cool and it kept the rain from getting him all wet. Mr. Jack was very friendly; everyone in the forest was his friends even his common enemy; like the coyote. But out of all his friends there was this one that Mr. Jack would always turn to for help or questions that he wanted answers to. This friend live in the upper part of the tree, he was an owl named Hoot. So one night he just got back and he saw Hoot in the tree and he looked at him and said “ Hoot, why is it so hard for me to get around and so hard for me to hear I don’t get it; I know you can hear really well, and you get around great because you have wings”. Hoot was thinking and said “I don’t know how that works but that’s the way life goes, now get some sleep.” “Ok I will good night Hoot.” Later that night Jack was having dreams about actually having long legs and ears, he was so happy and excited that in the morning he woke up and had to tell Hoot. He was very happy for Jack, then it hit him what if I try to tug on Jacks ears and legs. Hoot thought it over very carefully and was thinking maybe that will really work. At least Jack would be happy if that really did happen because he never stops talking about his ears and legs getting longer. The next day he was tell Jack about his great plan, Jack got excited and said “let’s do it, I don’t care how bad it hurts.” Hoot said “alright”, he started tugging and tugging nothing was changing when Hoot got done they still looked the same. So Hoot said “let see if anything changes overnight” Jack said “ya, I hope this work I’m tired of not hearing and being short” That night was the night, when Jack went to sleep his legs and ears got much longer than ever before. The morning didn’t come early enough Jack sprung and woke everyone in the tree up even Hoot. He yelled “Hoot! Hoot! Did anything happen overnight because I don’t feel any different.” “Hoot yelled in excitement yes you have everything you wanted tugging on them worked after all, I told you didn’t I Jack.” “ Jack said yes I can’t thank you enough, my life have changed in a tremendous way.” Well I guess having ears and long legs did make Jacks life easier, without them he wasn’t really a jack rabbit was he? That is how all the jack rabbits got their long ears and legs. If they didn’t have them they wouldn’t have the speed and hearing they do now.
