Radcliff the Nosey Rabbit

Once upon a time, there was a young rabbit named Radcliff.  Radcliff was a very curious little rabbit and poked his nose into everything.  While his mother was cooking dinner, he would peak into each pot to see what was cooking.

Radcliff, keep your nose out of the pots.  You might get burned. said his mother.

While his father was reading his paper, Radcliff would poke his nose into the paper to see what his father was reading.

Radcliff, keep your nose out of my paper.  I can't read it with you there. said his father.

While his older brother was playing with his toys, Radcliff would go into his closet to see what he could find.

Radcliff, keep your nose out of my closets. That's my stuff. yelled his brother, as he chased him out of his room.

Upon hearing all the fuss in the boy's room, Mother called for Radcliff.

Radcliff, dear, why don't you go outside and play. she said.

O.K. mom. said Radcliff.

Radcliff, do remember to keep your nose out of trouble. reminded mother.

Radcliff put on his hat and coat and went outside.  Radcliff looked up.  It was a wonderful day.  The sky was blue and the sun was shining.

Radcliff smelled the air.  It was light and full of honeysuckle.  Radcliff followed his nose to a honeysuckle bush.  Radcliff heard Quail, so he poked his nose inside the bush.  Inside the bush was in Quail's nest.  Inside the nest he saw six baby Quail.

HELLO. SAID RADCLIFF.

The baby Quail just chirped.  Mother Quail chased Radcliff away.

If you would be so kind as to keep your nose out of my nest, young man. said Mother Quail.

Yes, ma'am. said Radcliff.

Thank you. she said and returned to her nest.

Radcliff continued to explore.  He saw birds in the sky, ducks in a pond and squirrels in the trees.  Radcliff saw a badger dragging dinner back to his borrow.  Radcliff followed the badger.  He followed the badger right into his borrow.  The badger chased Radcliff away.

Keep your nose out of my borrow. shouted the badger.

"Gee Whiz, you're as cranky
