Content
Hibiscus the rabbit is in shock: Somebody has stolen his carrots! But the thief has left large paw prints. If he follows them, he’ll find the villain for sure.The tracks lead him to Fred the donkey. But he has hoofs and therefore can’t have been the thief. Uli the owl can fly; she hasn’t left the paw prints either. And Ludo the snake? Hibiscus keeps following the tracks and is finally led back to his own house. An uneasy feeling creeps over him when he looks in through a window: The entire place has been ransacked!
Suddenly someone shouts: “Guys, you can come out now!” A surprise party! All his friends are there and have organised a birthday party for him. Hibiscus is delighted, but first he needs a really big piece of carrot cake to help him recover from his fright.
