Mama Rabbit was very curious, so she came cautiously toward the hat while sniffing very fast, hoping to detect the answer. She hopped around the hat once and then twice. The hat did not move. She gently nudged it with her nose. The hat still did not move. Mama Rabbit now felt brave, so she poked the brim of the hat even harder. With that, the hat tipped, flipped and fell right on top of her!
She felt scared and hurriedly tried to hop away. But each time she jumped, the hat jumped along with her! After hopping around for a little while, Mama Rabbit realized she was not in any danger. In fact, she thought that the hat would make a perfect home. You see, Mama Rabbit was about to have babies and she was very happy to discover a safe and cozy home.
