Then they all joined hands and danced and sang....


I like rutabagas in the morning
I like rutabagas at night
I like rutabagas most all the time
Well I'm feeling just alright


I like..........
THE END (Well that is until the next adventure with THE BROTHERS FOOT!!!!!)

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-Proof Fence p30

Farmer Fox Stopped, dropped his hoe and began to sing along....

I like cabbage in the morning
I like cabbage at night 
I like cabbage most all the time
Well I'm feeling just alright!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit proof fence p 29

Then suddenly, without even thinking, they began to sing......


I like carrots in the morning
I like carrots at night
I like carrots most all the time
well I'm feeling just alright.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof fence p28

At last he cornered them
"Gotcha", he shouted!!!
He raised his Hoe as if to chop them up for a tasty rabbit stew.
Foot, Foot-Foot and Foot-Foot-Foot were certain they were about to meet their maker!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit proof fence p 27

He chased them 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round................

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-proof fence p26

But when he came to the carrot patch he got a big surprise!!!!!
He found the brothers.......you know who, asleep in his garden maze.

The Brothers foot and the Rabbit Proof fence pg 25

In the morning, Farmer Fox came to work in his garden filled with thoughts of how handsome he must be to have a secret admirer. He weeded and planted and pruned and watered.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence pg 24

By now the brothers were fat and filled with carrots, broccoli, celery rutabagas and all kinds of veggie delights.They felt as lazy as lazy toads and soon dozed off to dream wonderful dreams of tasty vegetables.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-Proof Fence Pg 23

They filled up their little rabbit tummies, opened their fuzzy rabbit mouths and began to sing.....


I like carrots in the morning
I like carrots at night
I like carrots most of the time
well I'm feeling just alright.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-proof fence pg 22

They filled up their little rabbit tummies. They were so full they could barely move! So they nodded off to sleep.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-Proof Fence pg 21

....and those brothers ate and ate to their hearts delight!!!!

the Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-Proof Fence pg 20

With the gate closed and locked, he was positive the RABBIT-PROOF FENCE would keep out any gophers, chipmunks, stinky skunks and most of all.......RABBITS!! So with peace of mind, he headed off home to his cozy fox den to sleep. Little did he know, the 'brothers' were already inside his precious garden!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p19

"This must be a gift from some secret admirer."
thought the wily Farmer Fox as he returned to close the gate.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 18

As Farmer Fox stooped over to marvel at the incredible treasure lying there on the ground the brothers snuck ever so quickly and quietly through the open gate.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit-Proof Fence p 17

 As he was about to go through he noticed something very colorful on the ground. It was the most beautiful painting he could ever image to image and it was lying there on the ground right before his very eyes.
HE WAS SPELLBOUND!!!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence P16

It landed beside the gate. Not too close and not too far away. 
Quickly the brothers ran and hid just as Farmer Fox came whistling down the path.They managed to hide away and somehow kept their grumbling tummies quiet as he opened the gate.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 15

Late in the evening, before Farmer Fox prepared to call it a day, together as always, they carried the painting to the gate. With a one, two, three... THROW ...they tossed it over the fence.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 14

And PAINT he did.! WOW! He painted the mountains and the trees. He painted a big beautiful  lake and a big, beautiful, blue sky full of birds and butterflies.Oh, it was a sight to behold!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 13

Foot found an old wooden sign. The years and the weather had worn everything on the surface away. What a perfect canvas for Foot-Foot-Foot  to paint something SENSATIONAL on!

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 12

They collected sticks and chewed the ends to make brushes.

The Brothers Foot and the Rabbit Proof Fence p 11

TOGETHER, the brothers made paints out of the petals of flowers and different colored rocks and sands they found up in the mountains.
