One day there was a rabbit named Murphy, who was just hanging out in the forest with his firetruck until...swish, swish, swish. That's what he heard around the bushes.

Huh!?

A fox jumped out! Quickly Murphy rode his firetruck to escape the fox, hoping that the fox will lose track of him.

Oh no! Please don't eat me? I don't taste so good!

But the fox kept following . . .

And following . . .

And following all the way to the Big Top Mall.

Murphy was so scared that he left the firetruck outside the Big Top Mall.

The fox grabbed the firetruck for his own while Murphy was inside the Big Top Mall.

Cool!

The fox decided to bring the firetruck to the forest to play with it.

This will be fun!

I was just hanging out in the forest until a fox jumped out!

What's the rush!? Why are you running scared!?

Inside. . .

Oh wait!

When they looked outside where he parked his firetruck at. . .

IT WAS GONE!!!

?!?

Murphy was so angry that he decided to go by himself in the forest to get back his firetruck.

Hey you! give me back my firetruck! You tiny fox!

I'm not tiny! you are! And I will not give your firetruck back. This is mine now little bunny.

In the forest. . .

Murphy and the fox had a tug of war with the firetruck. But because Murphy is smaller than the fox, the fox was able to beat him.

AAAAahhhhh!!!!

Go away! You will never beat me. I'm big and stronger than you are.

I'll be back!

Are you kidding?! You know you will never win.

Murphy walked out of the forest defeated and still mad because he didn't get his firetruck. So, he decided to go back to the Big Top Mall and ask his friends to help him get his firetruck from the fox.

Back at the Big Top Mall, he began to hatch a plan with his friends, Henrietta the chicken, Ruby the baby elephant, Stella the big elephant, Snickers the poodle, Bob the homeless dog, Frankie the seal and Thelma the macaw .

Murphy told his friends about his plan. We need to hide in the bushes and wait until the fox falls asleep then one of us will quickly grab the firetruck and all of us will run. All of them say "that is a good and fun idea!".

I only need 2 friends to help me. 

Who wants to come with me?

Me!

Me too!

This is so nice! I always wanted my own firetruck. It is a little small but it still will fit me.

Meanwhile, in the forest. . .

I'm so sleepy. I will take a nap first before playing with the firetruck again.

This is easy!

I can do this.

Okay but be careful and be quite.

Oh no! We have to run!

When Thelma try to get Murphy's firetruck, the fox woke up from his nap. Thelma was scared so she fly away very quickly. And because the firetruck was heavy, she accidentally drop it.

Huh?!

You can't get away from me!

Run!

Run!

Run!
