Rabbit and the Hare

The young pup watched as she made her trap and after a while of watching quietly, asked if it would work if something bigger came to eat. Rasha gave her trap a critical look for several moments, humming in thought to herself. Finally, she turned to the pup, "No," she said with finality. "They'd just break it probably."

The other then went and rolled in the mud before bounding- quiet bounding- back over and asking how he could help. Rasha nodded, and went to the brush to pull out a sort of poorly made basket. She'd tried to weave it with some grasses, but many snapped more than they bended around each other, so none of the wefts were even and the basket had nobby bits sticking out here and there at irregular intervals like an animal with too many elbows. Still, for lack of thumbs and better awareness, she brandished it proudly to the navy pup, "This is a basket. We'll prop it up, I think, and put some food under it... and when an animal comes we... unprop it up somehow... without getting too close." Rasha hadn't sorted out all the details yet, but they could burn that bridge when they got to it. She went back in and grabbed the small amount of roots and berries from the orchard. "This is the bait. There's not a lot, so hopefully deers and stuff will decide it's not worth it." Rasha dumped the food into the basket where several fell out through the gaps, but she pedaled the makings of the contraption over to The Spot and got ready. "Okay so if you can find a big stick and prop this up with me, I'll put the food under it and we can wait."
