Carpentering for the Carpenter

Last night I was up on a ladder insulating our garage, when the phone rang. It was Wascally Wabbit and she was definitely in distress! She had just worked an extra long day at Wal-Mart and then on the way home had run out of carrots. Fortunately she was only a mile and a half from home.

So I grabbed what few carrots I had for the lawn mower and headed out to look for her. On the way out of the driveway I noticed that I was quite low on carrots too. (Wouldn't that be something for me to be sitting on the side of the road, carrotless, with her?) Fortunately I had a small reserve supply I could switch to.

I soon caught up to Wascally Rabbit (not hard to do since she could not hop very far with no carrots). I gave her the few carrots I had. Her vehicle started on the second try so I got into the truck and waited for her to hop of Carrot Supply. But she did not move. So I got out and walked up to her window to see what the problem was. Well, her car would run but it did not have enough carrot-power to move. I asked her to rev up the engine a bit, then put it in drive, and see if the car would take off. She did, and it did. It was a bit of a shock to see a car zooming past my nose! Afterwards we had a good laugh when Wabbit said, "I hoped the rear tire missed your toes!" (I think the problem was just a dirty old carrot or two in her throat!)

I pulled into Carrot Supply beside her and we each replenished our supply. $138 of carrots , two Pepsi's and a Mountain Dew later we were glad to get home. After a day like that Wabbit NEEDED two Pepsi's!
