 nce upon a time there was a rabbit, fish, dog, lion, a little hippo, and a big hippo. One day they played Guess Who and got into pairs. Fish was with rabbit, Lion was with dog, and Big Hippo was with little hippo. You play Guess Who by having each person have their own board of cards and pictures of people on them. You ask each other questions about who is on the card. The object of the game is to guess who your opponents person is and whoever guesses first wins.

When Rabbit and fish started to play their game, Rabbit asked fish if her person was a girl and she said yes. Rabbit knocked down all the men on her board. Then fish asked rabbit if her person was a girl and she said no. So fish got to knock down all the girl flaps. Rabbit asked fish if her girl had glasses and she said yes.So rabbit knocked down 4 girls leaving one. Rabbit asked if the girl's name was Sally and fish said, yes. So Rabbit won and said, "Good game, I'm glad you were my partner. Next it was dog and lion'! s turn. Lion said in a mean voice, "Is your person girl? Yes or No, tell me now !" "Okay, okay" said dog. It's a boy. "Shucks" said lion. I would have won if it was a girl and now that it isn't I might cheat. Dog asked lion if his person was a girl. Lion said, "I'm not telling." Dog said, "that's not fair, why won't you tell me?" Lion said, "Because I don't like you and I wanted to have Big Hippo be my opponent. Now we're stuck together and I'm stuck with you and I hate you." said Lion. Well, it looks like you guys are having a fight said rabbit. "Go into the house and have a time out lion," said the rabbit.Then rabbit invited all the other animals to go for candy and the movies while Lion stayed home. After the movies and candy, the animals came home and found lion in the kitchen punching the wall. All the china was broken, the table was cracked, some walls had paint chipped off. Rabbit screamed at lion and told him to get to his room. Lion said no. So rabbit had a talk with him about his attitude. Lion was mad because he was treated like a bad boy and he didn't know he was being bad. So rabbit told lion to go in his room and if he did he could watch the rental movies with the rest of the animals. When lion went in his room, he tried to think about being nice but it didn't work. So rabbit sent him to miliary academy to learn to be a good boy. When lion came home in 2 years, he was better. He brought flowers for everybody. He said he would do better and play fair. So he played a game with dog and this time, Lion was a good sport.
