[/html]Oh, what a revelation! Beppe had not thought of it that way; perhaps the only reason that all the rabbits seemed a little scrawny lately was because some new rabbit had come to town and was overeating his welcome. He was sure that in this case, the two new friends would have to find the King Rabbit, the one that had been hoarding vegetables beneath his layers of rolling fat, the only rabbit that did not get cold in the winter. He would be known by all the other rabbits only as The Glutton, and they would quiver as they felt the earth shake beneath his massive paws. Now was his time for justice. And what a splendid meal he would make.
The ebony boy's lips crinkled into a deep smile with the suggestion, and he glanced towards Icarus with his eyes full of light. "We will be finding this fat rabbit, fattest of them all... We will find his lair, bigger than yours or Is!" He hopped a little as he walked. "And then all the other rabbits, they will get fat again. And oh, we will get fat as well!" The boy grinned, eyes roving across the territory that stretched before him. Motioning to the closest bushes with a nod, he said more quietly, "We can start to find him over there."[html]
