Journal #2- Hospitality

Once upon a time, there was a family of rabbits that lived in Pleasant Plains. They lived in the woods by the Hergenrother's house, and they were a very nice family. The rabbits were known throughout the woods for being very kind to everyone and for being very hospitable. The rabbits let many animals come into their home and offered them a warm, loving environment. One night, a huge thunder storm ravaged through the woods, destroying the home of the beaver family. After the storm, the beaver family was left with no home and no where to go so the rabbits offered to let them stay with them until they could build a new home. The beavers graciously accepted the offer because if not they would be forced to leave the woods and all of their friends behind. The following day, the beavers moved in with the rabbits and they began to look for a new place to build a home. The beavers treated the rabbit family as well as their home with respect by cleaning up after themselves and being very polite. The beavers always helped out the rabbits with the work that needed to be done, and in return the rabbits helped the beavers begin to build a new home. The rabbits provided the beavers with a place to sleep, food to eat, and finally they provided them with a home to live in. The rabbits showed much kindness by letting the beaver family move in with them, and the beaver family showed respect back to the rabbits. By the next summer, the beaver family had built a new home and were scheduled to move in the following week. The rabbit family was very happy that the beaver family was able to build a new home, but they were sad to see them move out. Because of the hospitality of the rabbits and the respectfulness of the beavers, they now have a very strong friendship and a bond that will last a lifetime.
