Wabbit Worries

Plot: At school, Miss Murray assigns the children their daily tasks. Fuchsia is put in charge of lining up the kids for recess, Andrew is assigned with cleaning the blackboard erasers, and Little Bill gets to care for the school rabbits. Little Bill excitedly heads to the rabbit cage to feed and water his new charges. He greets the rabbits warmly and pets the gray one. However, when he tries to give the brown rabbit a carrot, the rabbit refuses to eat. Confused, Little Bill calls Miss Murray for help. Miss Murray tries to feed the rabbit herself, but it still won't eat. She suggests leaving the carrot in the cage and assures Little Bill that the rabbit is probably just not hungry. But then, Miss Murray notices something concerning. She tells Little Bill they need to leave the rabbit alone and calls the veterinarian to come examine it. She reassures Little Bill that the rabbit will be okay. After school, Little Bill and Alice the Great walk home for the evening. Little Bill tells Alice the Great about the rabbit that wouldn't eat or allow to be petted. Alice the Great doesn't think the rabbit was hungry. Little Bill tells Alice the Great that the rabbit is always hungry. They walk by Percy's Pet Store where they bought Elephant and Little Bill realizes that they bought the rabbits from the store as well. Little Bill thinks Percy might know what's wrong with the rabbit. Alice the Great and Little Bill walk into the store to see Percy. Percy greets Little Bill and asks him how the hamster is doing. Little Bill informs Percy that the hamster's name is Elephant and he's doing great. Percy remarks that's a big name for a little hamster. Little Bill tells Percy that the rabbit at school won't eat and won't allow anyone to pet it. He states that the rabbit always let them play with him. Percy tells Little Bill that he'll come to school with him tomorrow to explain everything. Little Bill thanks him and says that he'll see him tomorrow. Percy wonders what he is going to say to them. The next morning, Percy arrives at the school. Little Bill asks Percy if the rabbit is alright. Percy says that the rabbit is fine and tells them that he has two surprises for them. Kiku likes surprises and asks what they are. Percy says that his first surprise is that the first rabbit, Wabbit, is a girl. Miss Murray says that she was notified that she purchased two boy rabbits. Percy tells that sometimes it's difficult to tell the disparity and apologizes for the mistake. He says that the other surprise is that the rabbit is going to have babies. The children are very excited about this. Percy says that the other rabbit, Dwayne, is the father. Kiku says that Dwayne and Wabbit are going to take care of their baby like her parents take care of her. Percy says that Wabbit is going to have more than one baby. The children are excited because they're all going to get one to play with. Kiku thinks that she'll have one hundred babies. The children start to pretend that the babies are piling up and filling the whole room. The kids are snapped out of their imagination. Percy says that rabbits have a lot of babies, but not as many as they believe. He says they could have anywhere from six to eight babies. Miss Murray notes that's a lot of rabbits for one classroom. Little Bill is eager for all of the baby rabbits. Percy informs the children that he has to take Wabbit back to the store with him. Percy says that he wants to keep an eye on her since she’s gonna have her babies soon. Little Bill asks if Wabbit is going to be alright. Percy ensures them that Wabbit is going to be fine. The children say goodbye to Wabbit. At the house, Little Bill tells Brenda that he is worried about Wabbit and asks if she is going to be alright. Brenda tells Little Bill that having a baby is one of the most natural events in the world. Brenda says that she had April, Bobby, and Little Bill and she is fine. She vows Little Bill that Wabbit will be fine. Little Bill notifies Brenda that Wabbit is going to have a lot of babies. Brenda tells him that Wabbit is going to be excited to see all of them like she was excited to see him. She picks up a picture and asks Little Bill who he thinks is in her tummy. Little Bill doesn't know. Brenda says it is him. Little Bill is bewildered and asks Brenda why he was in her stomach. Brenda says that he was evolving, consuming, and snoozing. She says that when she ate something she sent the best food to him. Little Bill thanks Brenda and asks if she ate pizza. Brenda says that she did. Brenda asks Little Bill if he wants to see what he looked like in her belly. She grabs Little Bill's baby book and shows him the picture of him in the uterus. Little Bill asks if it looks like him. Brenda notes that he is a lot bigger now. She tells Little Bill that she was glad to get this picture because it's her first picture of him. Little Bill asks if the babies are in Wabbit's tummy. Brenda says that they are and tells Little Bill that he did a smart thing by talking to Percy about Wabbit. Brenda says Percy knows everything about animals and he knows how to take care of her. Little Bill hopes that Percy brings Wabbit back to the classroom tomorrow so they can see all of the babies. The next day at school, Little Bill, Andrew, Fuchsia, and Kiku play with Dwayne. Miss Murray informs the children that Percy is here. Percy comes into the classroom with a cage covered with a blanket. The children are thrilled to see him. Percy informs everyone has something for them. The kids believe that Wabbit had her babies and they want to see them. Percy says that they can, but tells everyone to stay quiet while they look. He takes off the cover and shows them the babies. Fuchsia notes that the rabbits don't look anything like Dwayne and Wabbit. Percy tells the kids that when they get older they will start to look more like Wabbit and Dwayne. Fuchsia asks Percy if they'll eat carrots. Percy tells the children that the babies are only going to want to drink their mother's milk. The children say hello to the babies. Fuchsia notes that the rabbits' eyes are closed. Percy tells Fuchsia that the babies will open their eyes in a few days. They count the rabbits and they discover that Wabbit had eight babies. Kiku says that they have additional rabbits than any of them can keep. Miss Murray says that when the baby rabbits get bigger, they are going to have to find a new home for them to live. The episode ends with the children saying hello to the baby rabbits.
