From the opening of the story, I was very intrigued. The Rabbit reminded me of myself in life when something goes wrong. If I get a bad grade or something, I don't even stop to evaluate the situation. I just run off in freak-out mode.
This story also reminded me of how rumors spread. I feel as though people are so quick to spread information without checking on the validity of it. No one thought to ask where the rabbit had come from and why he thought that the earth was breaking. But, they had a better excuse than us humans due when it comes to silly, small things. Those animals were running for, what they thought was, their life! They had to act quick and spread the news quick to save everyone else.
I think I am going to remake this story and tell it in a more realistic form that I see with a lot of college students. Or, I may make the story end with the earth actually breaking when the lion roars because that is what I though was going to happen as I read.
I am glad that this story incorporated animals and also ended with a great lesson. Those were two of my favorite things to find in stories last semester!
