Gorden's Alive!

Golden Carrot Found!

By Mabel Leaf.

Our intrepid reporter was first on the scene when Gorden The Rabbit returned from his fabulous Quest For The Golden Carrot. When asked how he was Gorden was strangely quiet and actually made a request to this reporter that she would have great difficulty in achieving without double-jointed limbs! After a little coaxing Gorden felt able to relay some details of his quest. Yes, he does have the Carrot, but he wasn't interested in showing it to anyone. He was quoted as saying

"It's going to the Head Buck first. After that..." And he laughed at our reporter. Gorden returned with blood on his hands - when questioned he admitted that Sly, the Fox, was now dead, and No he didn't know who had done it.

When asked how he had managed to be so quick on the scene of the murder he just shook his head. Cola, the schoolteacher who left her post to aid Gorden on the Quest then spoke to our reporter.

"We have all had a long few weeks journeying. We have seen many marvellous things and many things we'd rather not repeat. "Many animals have suffered for this quest. Don't let yourself be the next one." Our reporter then managed to get a few words with the illustrious Plessey a wizard of great renown and import.

"I am pleased to say that, yes, we have located the Golden Carrot. I myself was deeply involved in the discovery and retrieval of this most famous of objects of Rabbit Lore. You will not believe the majesty of the spells I cast to enable us to track the artefact and to break down the defences that protected it at the Chiltern Coney Commune.

"We also met an ancient dog-god. We met the failed ferret and some maniacal weasels. We've seen Holy Monks and scheming Hawks.

"It's been some trip, that I can tell you!" We begged the returning heroes for a peek at the Carrot but were rebuffed.

We must still apologise for the continuing absence of Mystic Nora and her daily Horoscopes. In an endeavour to fill her shoes we have some predictions from our newest mental power Phump!

Fifth Anniversary of the Great Quaver Famine.

Five years ago to this day we can say that the Great Quaver Famine started. An entire crop of the favourite snack of many a coney was wiped out with disastrous consequences. We spoke to many of the people who were there for this in-depth retrospective.

"If it had happened five years earlier," A survivor was heard to say, "Then this would be the tenth anniversary."
