Lapinette watched the Wabbit jump through the hole at the end of the tunnel. He turned and beckoned. "We're near Via Giulia!" he exclaimed. "We can get the bus." Lapinette didn't hesitate. She jumped through too, then looked behind her. The hole closed and there was only brickwork. "How does that work?" she said to the wall. The wall wasn't saying. "Or we could go to da Luigi's. I'm hungry," shrugged the Wabbit. Lapinette confessed to being a bit peckish herself. So they turned and made their way along Via Giulia. "What was that all about?" She was used to strange things happening, but that seemed without purpose. "I suppose it was to remind us that we should always be prepared." The Wabbit was having a philosophical turn. "You sound like a Boy Scout." sighed Lapinette. "Be prepared to be entertained," quipped the Wabbit. Lapinette couldn't help giggling. "Your jokes are really not very funny." The Wabbit smiled. "Like being trapped inside a hole filled with water. I meant well." That's a very dreary joke, Wabbit," groaned Lapinette. They laughed and hopped along, paw in paw. "Shall we visit that charity shop?" asked the Wabbit. "It's only open at weird times," replied Lapinette. "We could break in," suggested the Wabbit. "Rob a charity shop. Now
that's funny!" exclaimed Lapinette. "No. We could leave our old stuff there," smiled the Wabbit.
