With a little warm water and some shampoo, he tried to6the dead bunny as best he could. Then he took a hair dryer and blowdried the bunny7it looked pretty good.
Finally, under the cover of darkness, he crept into the next-door garden and placed it8in the cage. He managed to make the bunny look very9there in his little box.
