Overview
Little Teni and Mavo lived in a dry sandy country far away from here. They lived with their father and mother high up on a rocky cliff. All about them were rocks and sand. They could not play in the shade of the trees, because in that dry land there were very few trees. But the little boy and girl had great fun climbing up and down the rocks and running in the sunshine. One day when Mavo and Teni were playing at the foot of the cliff, they saw some baby rabbits not far away. They were brown rabbits, just the kind that Teni loved to play with. “Oh, Mavo! Let us catch them,” he said, and the two ran off together. As the children came near, the little rabbits scampered away as fast as they could.
