Once upon a time, in a land far away, there lived a powerful leader named Napoleon Bonaparte. He was the Emperor of France. Napoleon was known for his winning many battles. Up until Waterloo, of course, but that’s a different story.
Our tale begins after a long war between France and Russia. They signed a treaty and peace finally came to both countries. To celebrate, Napoleon decided to host a big party. He invited his guests, including his best friend!
For the big celebration, 3,000 bunnies were brought to the field, but not as guests… as hostages. Little did they know that these bunnies were not ordinary bunnies. NO! They were clever. “Clever” means “smart”. As the party began, the bunnies saw an opportunity to find food, as they were very hungry after a long journey to the meadow.
At first, everything seemed to be going as planned. But all of a sudden, the bunnies turned on their captors. They had formed a tiny army. The bunnies ran toward Napoleon and his guests with division and tactics. That means they had a clever plan, to split up!
Napoleon’s best friend tried to help fend them off, but he got caught in the middle of the bunny brigade.
The attack of the bunnies ensued! (That means it was the next event to happen.) They chased Napoleon all around. He looked really goofy. Bunnies crawled up people’s legs, and took down great knights, and musketeers!
Suddenly they cornered the emperor near his carriage. Napoleon was surprised by the cleverness and the boldness of these little creatures. They had turned into fearless warriors.
In a panic, Napoleon hurriedly jumped into his carriage and escaped to safety. The bunnies, seeing their enemy fleeing, decided to retreat and find food somewhere else. It was a close call, and Napoleon realized that even the smallest creatures could pose a threat if they were determined.
And so, the tale of Napoleon and the Bunny Brigade became a legend, to remind us that even if we are small, we can still do big things.
