Misty --------------------------(Continued from Page 4)why I’m being hard as nails?”

“Yes, I have asthma.”“That’s right. Daddy doesn’t

want you to get sick and have togo to the doctor.”

“I know.”“Daddy won’t tell you again.

Okay?”She was so pretty! Without

hesitation, I went next door totell Louise and Rene Bedard,Palmers and anyone in myrange limit. The Bennett girlcame over later to see MistyWhite. Daddy and I went toEmerson’s store to get wood andwire to make the cage. Then wewent down to the Potter Farmand got some hay. My Momwent out in the afternoon withRene Bedard and got pellets forfood. Then Dad showed me whatto do with the food, water andhay. “This is your job. You takecare of Misty White!”

“Okay, I will,” I told him.Misty bunny grew real fast

and so did my ideas. I had lots ofbaby doll clothes and put a bon-net, and a nightgown on her andwrapped her in it. Then Ipushed her in the carriage.

Misty White was in our carefor almost two years.

Daddy woke up one morningto take me to school, and sawthe rabbit cage was open. Therewas no bunny. He took me toschool, and afterschool, hepicked me up. He said, “Shirley,Daddy needs to talk to you atthe house.”

“Misty White is gone,” he toldme when we arrived home.

“Where, Daddy?” I asked.“To Heaven,” he replied. She

got out of her cage and the bigpulp truck ran over her.” Iremember running across the

yard and sitting on a pile ofboards.

My mother told dad to leaveme alone. “She will come inwhen she is ready,” Mom said.

Returning to the house, Iwent in and got into my moth-er’s lap. She hugged me andsaid, “We will bring Misty Whiteto the end of the lot tonight, andmake a nice bed for her to sleepin forever.”

“Can I put my pillow, hat andnightgown on her?”

“Yes! But you must promiseyou won’t go and dig her up,because she has gone to heavenwith God. She will like it upthere with all the clover andflowers she can eat.”

Dad said, “Mom and I willmake a small cross while youare at school tomorrow. Afterschool, we’ll go and put it on thebed.”

“Thank you, Mommy andDaddy.”
