A rabbit from the laboratory

A rabbit one day managed to  break free from the laboratory where he had been born and brought up. As he  scurried away from the fencing of the compound, he felt grass under his little  feet and saw the dawn breaking for the first time in his life.  

 

"Wow, this is great," he  thought.

 

It wasn't long before he came  to a hedge and, after squeezing under it he saw a wonderful sight lots of other  bunny rabbits, all free and nibbling at the lush grass.

 

"Hey," he called. "I'm a  rabbit from the laboratory and I've just escaped. Are you wild rabbits?"  

 

"Yes. Come and join us," they  cried.

 

The lab rabbit hopped over to  them and started eating the grass. It tasted so good.



"What else do  you wild rabbits do?" he asked.


"Well," one of  them said. "You see that field there? It's got carrots growing in it. We dig  them up and eat them."


This he  couldn't resist and he spent the next hour eating the most succulent carrots.  They were wonderful.


Later, he asked  them again, "What else do you do?" 

 

"You see that field there?  It's got lettuce growing in it. We eat them as well."

 

The lettuce tasted just as  good and he returned a while later completely full.

 

"Is there anything else you  guys do?" he asked.



One of the  other rabbits came a bit closer to him and spoke softly.


"There's one  other thing you must try. You see those rabbits there," he said, pointing to the  far corner of the field. "They're girls. We shag them. Go and try it." 

 

Well, the lab rabbit spent the  rest of the morning shagging his little heart out until, completely knackered,  he staggered back over to the guys.



"That was  fantastic," he panted.

 

"So are you going to live with  us then?" one of them asked.

 

"I'm sorry, I had a great time  but I can't." The wild rabbits all stared at him, a bit surprised.  



"Why? We  thought you liked it here."

 

"I do," our friend replied.  



"But I must get  back to the laboratory.  I'm dying for a cigarette."

:-) Do you actually write this 'analogy'?
