Gabriel was really hoping their rabbit hunting would go well. He didn't really like eating bugs either. His brother was right, they didn't taste very good. It was kind of fun to feel them crawl around in his mouth and let them wiggle out, but that was where the fun ended. "I don't like the way the long-legged ones get stuck in my teeth." The legs would wedge themselves in good and tight and then it would be hours before he got them out. In the meantime he'd just feel them. They'd sit against his gums, feeling all leggy and gross. His attempt at lightening the mood seemed to work. Wynde took the lead and darted ahead. Instead of racing to catch up Gabriel ambled along after. He wanted a chance to think a little bit...which he didn't get because after a few paces his brother skidded to a standstill and peppered him with questions. The boy resisted the urge to sigh. And panic. Suggesting they catch rabbits was a lot easier than actually catching rabbits. He waited to answer until he was once again beside his brother. The pause gave him just enough time to come up with something. Speaking with confidence he didn't feel, Gabriel said, "We just gotta find where they live. And...um..." Where did rabbits live exactly? He'd never seen one climb a tree so somewhere on the ground, probably. Suddenly he had an idea. "We know what they smell; we'll follow our noses right to where they live and then we'll wait and catch them!" He was sure it would work. Eventually the rabbits would have to come out or go inside.
