Wendy came in a second later and  
shared a glance with Randy, both know- 
ing exactly what would happen.         
     It’d be fine for a few weeks,     
until other things began occupying     
their minds. They'd forget all about   
the bunnies, and then they'd end up    
being the ones taking care of them.    
     That's when Beth stepped in, got  
down on one knee, and started the ball 
rolling in the right direction for the 
girls.                                 
     “Even if your parents agree, you  
have to ask us first, and whether we   
say yes depends on whether you can keep
a couple promises,” she explained, and 
then studied both of them, one at a    
time, before continuing.               
     “First, you have to promise, with 
all your heart, that you'll both take  
* super good care of which ever bunny or   
bunnies you take home with you,” she   
said, and then pointed to both of them,
one after the other.                   
     “And see this guy here,” she said 
while pointing back at me. They both   
looked at me and nodded.               
     “He was almost beaten up by four  
guys, just because he wanted to save   
those bunnies from drowning. He was    
lucky your Dad was there to help,” she 
said pausing and looked at each of     
them again before continuing, “They're 
miracle bunnies and need lots of love  
because of it. If you can promise      
that...”                               
     Their eyes both got wide, and to- 
gether they both said, “Wow!”          
     “...and also, if for any reason,  
you can't take good care of them,      
you'll give them back, and in return,  
we promise not to get mad.
