Taking a closer look, he was surprised to  31   it as the bunny that  32   Mary, the young daughter of the family next door. My friend felt  33  , believing his cat had killed Mary’s bunny.

My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan.  34   from the cat’s mouth the dead animal, which by now was a  35   mess, he put it in the kitchen sink. With a little warm water and some shampoo, he tried to  36   the dead bunny as best he could. Then he took a hair dryer and blow-dried the bunny  37   it looked pretty good.

Finally, under the cover of darkness, he crept into the next-door garden and placed it  38   in the cage. He managed to make the bunny look very  39   there in his little box.

The next morning, my friend looked out of the window and noticed a crowd of people  40   around the rabbit hutch. Everyone seemed to be talking and pointing. My friend  41   to go over and act like any normal  42   neighbor and find out what was going on.

When he got there, Mary’s mother said to my friend, “You won’t believe this! It’s a(n)  43   thing! Mary’s bunny  44   a few days ago, and we buried that little bunny right over there...”
