  Once upon a time, there was a BIG BUNNY.

  A ginormously SCARY bunny?

  No. He was just big, and he lived on . . .

  A ginormous FLOATING CARROT?

  No. He lived on a round planet that grew . . .

  Monstrously DELICIOUS carrots?

  No . . .

  But there were LOTS of tasty normal carrots!

  But tasty carrots are SO . . . small.

  They’re not THAT small.

  When do we get to the SCARY part?

  BIG BUNNY ATE TEN CARROTS in ONE! BITE!

  Not scary.

  Without CHEWING!

  Still not scary.

  TWENTY carrots?

  Nope.

  TWO HUNDRED carrots!

  Sorry.

  He ate carrots by the TRUCKLOAD!

  Wait . . . there are trucks on the planet?

  Yes.

  Does Big Bunny EAT the trucks?

  No.

  Why not?

  He was too full of carrots.

  Trucks are tastier!

  No they aren’t.

  Well, trucks are crunchier!

  Trucks AREN’T EDIBLE!

  So what happened to them?

  They got stuck in traffic.

  Traffic is so . . . BORING!

  That’s why they built a bridge.

  Wait . . . who built a bridge?

  The trucker penguins did.

  Penguins drive trucks?

  Yes! And they build bridges!

  This story is WORSE than traffic!

  Fine . . . you tell it.

  So, after Big Bunny ate the bridge and ALL the trucks, he went looking for more to eat.

  Wait . . . he ate the BRIDGE?

  YUP! And ALL the CRUNCHY trucks.

  And he was STILL hungry?

  Very!

  So what happened to the penguins?

  Oh . . . they all took off to Florida.

  But penguins don’t fly.

  That’s why the giraffes drove them.

  Wait . . . what giraffes?

  The giraffes who drive the buses.

  Giraffes drive buses?

  YUP! They build very tasty buildings, too.

  BUILDINGS AREN’T EDIBLE!

  I wouldn’t tell Big Bunny that.

  Listen, I don’t like all this eating nonsense.

  But we’re finally at the BEST PART!
