It was a beautiful day in the rainforest. There was a rabbit called Jessie. She had a black body and a brown tummy and a beautiful blue tail. She was the cutest rabbit in the universe.
There was also a stream. The stream had heaps of animals around it. The rabbit showed me his rainbow mansion. It as made of the shiniest carrots in the world. I went inside the mansion and it was beautiful and there was the dancing rabbit of delight. I said 'Can I live with you?' and Jessie said 'Yes!'. Then we walked home together.
When we woke up we went for a stroll in the rainforest. I went for a swim in the stream. I jumped in and saw golden fish! I was riding on the big golden one and thought I would ask Jessie if they had a huge fish tank connected to the stream?
I went back home to the carrot mansion. I asked if I could bring the fish home and then I saw Jessie's minions. Jessie showed me the whole mansion because I hadn't seen it before as it was quite huge. Jessie showed me the aquarium . She had every sea creature created. She had turtles, sharks, dolphins, golden fish, crabs, sea snakes and crystal colourful fish.
I found a beautiful shiny orange carrot just for Jessie. 'That's for letting me live with you and feeding me' I said. Jessie also had a fire story mansion and a golden carrot room with emeralds, diamonds, gold, crystals, iron and plumion in her room. She had a huge factory and it was making food for me so I could survive.
The next day I went to see the karate dojo and then we walked home.
I was amazed because I got to live in the most amazing place.
