CHAPTER I
THE CLIFF COUNTRY

Little Teni andMavo lived in adry sandy countryfar away from here.

They lived withtheir father andmother high up ona rocky cliff.

All about themwere rocks andsand.

They could not play in theshade of the trees, because inthat dry land there were veryfew trees.

But the little boy and girlhad great fun climbing up anddown the rocks and running inthe sunshine.

One day when Mavo andTeni were playing at the foot ofthe cliff, they saw some babyrabbits not far away.

They were brown rabbits, justthe kind that Teni loved to playwith.

“Oh, Mavo! Let us catchthem,” he said, and the two ranoff together.

As the children came near,the little rabbits scampered awayas fast as they could.

The mother rabbit was waitingfor her children in a hole nearby and they ran straight forhome.
