Running Class
I cant believe it. At school, I get to do what I do best!

Wait, wait! Rabbits dont like to swim.

Swimming Class

The instructor said Well, you may not like it now but five years from now it was a good thing for you.

Tree Climbing Class

A tree trunk was set at a 30-degree angle so all the animals had a chance to succeed. The rabbit tried so hard that he hurt his leg.

Remedial Flying Class

Flying is not my forte.

Next morning.
The instructor said Today we jump in the water. Wait, my parents didnt
learn to swim. I dont like to get wet! I like to drop this course!

You cant drop it for the drop period is over!

Either you jump or you flunk

The rabbit jumped in. He went down twice and bubbles came up. The instructor saw he was drowning and pull him out. All the animals were laughing. The rabbit was more humiliated that he had ever been in his life.

At home
I dont like school I just want to be free.

His parents said You have to get a diploma or other rabbits are going to get ahead of you.

At school at the counselor's office

The rabbit told the counselor that he doesnt want to go to school anymore and the reasons behind it.

Rabbit, I tell you youre good at running. I dont know why you need to work on it

what you need to work on is swimming. Ill arrange it so you can have two periods of swimming

When the rabbit heard that, he just threw up!

The rabbit was inspired

When I graduated.. I will start a business where rabbits would do nothing but run, the squirrels could just climb trees, and the fish could swim.

Oh, what a great place that would be!
