BUMPER THE WHITE RABBIT IN THE WOODS - Book 2 in the Bumper the White Rabbit Series
Author: George Ethelbert Walsh
Publisher: Abela Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 882953756X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
This is the sequel to “Bumper the White Rabbit” and, like vol. 1, contains 15 more stories and adventures of Bumper the White Rabbit. Bumper had many friends, such as Mr. Blind Rabbit, Fuzzy Wuzz and Goggle Eyes, his country cousins; and Bobby Gray Squirrel had his near cousins, Stripe the chipmunk and Webb the flying squirrel; while Buster and White Tail were favoured with an endless number of friends and relatives. If we turned them all loose from the books, and put them in a ten-acre lot—but no, ten acres wouldn’t be big enough to accommodate them, perhaps not even a hundred acres. The stories and adventures of Bumper in this volume are as follows, and the title of each adventure will tell you what you can expect in this volume. I. Bumper Hunts with the Pack II. Bumper’s Ignorance Excites Suspicion III. Bumper Saves Fuzzy Wuzz from Snake IV. Spotted Tail Shows Enmity V. A Test of Fleetness VI. A Test of Courage VII. A Test of Wits VIII. Spotted Tail Stirs up Revolt IX. The Work of Shrike the Butcher Bird X. Rusty Warns Bumper XI. The Rabbits Rise Against Bumper XII. Spotted Tail Receives his Punishment XIII. Bumper Wins Spotted Tail’s Friendship XIV. Spotted Tail Proves His Loyalty XV. Bumper Makes Fuzzy Wuzz Queen This volume is sure to keep you and your young ones enchanted for hours, if not because of the quantity, then their quality. They will have you coming back for more time and again. All boys and girls who love reading and who love animals should become acquainted with Bumper the white rabbit, with Bobby Gray Squirrel, with Buster the Bear, and with White Tail the deer, for they are all brave and fearless in danger, and so lovable that you won’t lay down any one of the books without saying wistfully, “I almost wish I had them really and truly as friends and not just storybook acquaintances.” That, of course, is a splendid wish; but none of us could afford to have a big menagerie of wild animals, for that’s just what you would have to do if you brought the books to life. ============ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Bumper, White Rabbit, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, childrens stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy kingdom, ethereal, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, forest, woodland, Hunt, Pack, Ignorance, Excite, Suspicion, Save, Fuzzy Wuzz, Snake, Spotted Tail, Enmity, hostility, antagonism, Test, Fleetness, speed, Courage, Wits, Spotted Tail, ferment, Revolt, Work, Shrike, Butcher Bird, Rusty, Warn, Rise up, Against, Receive, Punishment, Win, Friendship, Prove, Loyalty, Queen Rabbit, childrens books

Natural Bravery
Author: Gaylon Ferguson
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1590309731
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
How to find freedom from fear: Buddhist teachings that really work, from a respected contemporary teacher. Fear is something that's such a part of our lives that it doesn't seem it would be possible to live without it. This book disputes that claim in a powerful way. Gaylon Ferguson presents traditional Buddhist teachings to show that the fear that so often wreaks havoc on us is in fact quite insubtantial—and it's mostly something we create ourselves. If we can learn to see that, it becomes pretty simple to un-create it, and we also discover that there's a natural fearlessness in us that goes far deeper than fear. With this natural bravery as our foundation, we can live our own lives more effectively and also be a better help and comfort to others.
