She felt sleepy and in the distance Q. 5) she clearly saw a little white rabbit come out of a hole in the ground and look at her. It just stared. Then Q. 7) it came closer and closer, as if it was surprised to see Sally. It looked at her for a while, then decided to turn round and go away, not very interested in Sally. Q. 8) She had half a sandwich left over from lunch, and ran after the rabbit in case it was hungry, but it kept on running away, very uninterested. Then it disappeared. She turned round to tell her sister,Q. 9) but the rabbit was reading a book and her sister wasn't there anymore.
