Chapter 2 Part 2, Georg Has the Giggles
Book Five: Wellington Rabbit Lost and Found
Wellington pushed aside his dark thoughts about little bunny tricking them again. He was a dear little rabbit who had simply fallen in with the wrong kind.
The spring day was wonderful. Everything smelled so fresh. Daffodils were blooming everywhere in glorious shades and hues of yellow sometimes with a splash of orange, white, or even occasionally pink. Birds were chirping and flitting from tree to tree catching bugs along the way. The air had a certain snap to it that sent some folks shivering but Wellington loved it. He and Georg followed the little bunny across the yard to the orchard. Wellington did not yet want to risk a question lest he deter little bunny from his mission.
Georg was still laughing but it was more like giggles now. Endless giggles. But one look at him and Wellington could easily determine that the giggles were not the gleeful sort at all. Georg’s eyes showed no mirth only anguish and bewilderment and even the beginning of anger.
Wellington squeezed his paw, “Don’t worry. We’ll get you out of this. Just hold on.”
Georg was glad to do that. He squeezed Wellington’s paw tight. They passed through the orchard and onto a pasture beyond. Walking along with Georg like this reminded Wellington of how they had first met. Wellington had been on a bound about when he discovered Georg stuck tight in a briar patch. Wellington helped him escape and took Georg straight to Uncle Wells who immediately saw the potential of Wellington and Georg forming a lasting friendship.
Wellington grew a little sad thinking about Uncle Wells, he missed him so much. But he was glad Uncle Wells approved of Georg and even help set up a garden shed behind Wellington’s cottage that Georg could live in since his actual home was the taiga. Georg loved the plan and went back to his taiga whenever it called to him but being Wellington’s friend was far more exciting.
“Stop reflecting,” Wellington told himself as they came to a stop before a tree. “What now?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“We climb,” said the little bunny springing into the tree. “Follow me.”
Georg shook his head no, but Wellington pushed him toward the tree, “We have to trust the lad,” but he was truly no so sure himself.
