One day a friend of mine found his cat had a little "gift" in its mouth-a dead animal of some.Taking a closer look, he found the dead animal was a rabbit that belonged to a little girl, Bonny, who lived next door .My friend felt terrible ,believing his cat had killed Bonny?s rabbit.

My quick-thinking friend came up with a plan. Taking the rabbit out from the cat's mouth and put it in the kitchen sink (水槽).With a little warm water ,he tried to clean up the dead rabbit as well as he could.Then he took a hair dryer and blew the rabbit dry until it looked pretty good.

Finally, he took the dead rabbit out to his neighbor?s rabb it hutch(兔舍) and placed it back in the cage .The rabbit looked very natural there in its little cage.

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

When he got there, Bonny?s mother said to my friend, "It?s strange enough! You won't believe what has happened ,Bonny?s rabbit died a few days ago, and we buried it right over there…"

Have you ever tried to cover up one wrongdoing with another? Covering up mistakes only makes matters worse .
