Duke the Rabbit That Lost His Manners

by Rita Mendoza

Overview

Duke, is a modern-day folktale about a well-mannered rabbit who insisted on having a complete table setting for his lunch. The problem is, by the time he finishes the setup, he's left with no more time to eat his meal! He then started to gradually remove some unnecessary items from the setting, till he got to the point where he wolfed down his food with nothing but a fork. He ended up being a mess and losing all his table manners. Duke was so enraged by this that he jumped on his meal and even smashed the watch to block out the alarm that kept interrupting him. After some consideration, Duke concluded that it would be better to return to his old table settings, eat at his own pace, and restore the manners he had abandoned. He was able to finish his meal and still had time for some chit-chat or a nap. Duke also decided to stop throwing tantrums because having manners and a cool head at all times is important.
