Small
Human Person took me - and Old Creaky Dog - to the place we go every
morning. We love it! There are hundreds of rabbits who leave treats for
us, and they make it even more fun by running so that I can chase them! I
hope I can catch one. I want it to be my friend! We go in this little
field that's different from all the other fields 'cause it's got deep
trenches and ridges all over, and bits of old walls. It's great fun to
run up and down and then into the long grass where I can hide until
Small Human Person calls me , when I jump out and go bounding towards
her and pretend to knock her over! It's great! Sometimes I do knock old
Creaky Dog over, but he's too easy to knock over and anyway he doesn't
seem to mind. I like him. He's my Friend!
I don't know what that means. Did they make it for their dogs?
Well ...I'm sure they had dogs, and the dogs would have run about there, but the walls were much bigger back then - like little houses. And soldiers.
KIRI:
So they made little houses and a nice lumpy field for their dogs! I like Roman soldiers! I want them to be my friends!
Did they have rabbits?
ALLY:
<sigh> Yes, there have always been rabbits. The Roman soldiers caught them and ate them.
Serena B:
In
fact, it was the Romans who brought the rabbits here, so they could eat
them - and, not doubt, so that their dogs could chase them...
