RABBIT AND CAR RACE
A motorist in Canada had a jolly time -with a rabbit ono night recently. He was driving along a remote country road when he noticed that he was not alone. A young rabbit, probably attracted by the headlights, was keeping him company by running beside the car, which was going about 25 miles an hour.
For a mile Master Rabbit kept up the pace, and then the driver stopped, turned off the lights, and waited to seo if his little friend would go homo. But he could not see him anywhere, so ho started up tho engine and went on, only to find the rabbit a fow hundred yards farther on. This time tho motorist went a little faster, about 32 miles an hour, and was surprised when the rabbit, which was only about a year old, kept up the pace for another mile. Then, going still faster, tho man passed his four-footed friend, and saw that he was still going strong after running for two miles. >()<=^oC^o<=^(><==>o<==>()<==>()<=
