Sally had been sitting with her sister next to the river for ages and was fed up. Her sister was reading a book, and Sally coundn't understand why the book didn't have any pictures. All her books had pictures, and lots of them. The field next to them was full of daisies and Sally was seriously thinking of getting up and going to pick some for a daisy chain, but it was just so hot. She felt sleepy and in the distance she clearly saw a little while rabbit come out of a hole in the ground and look at her. It just started. Then it came closer and closer, as if it was surprised to see Sally. It looked at her for a while, then decided to turn round and go away, not very interested in Sally. She had half a sandwich left over from lunch, and ran after the rabbit in case it was hungry, but it kept on running away, very uninterested.
