The Story

Merlin was not the kind of rabbit who liked surprises or adventures or to explore new places. He was happiest when every day was just like the one before. But Angie, the little girl who took care of him, thought he must be lonely. So one day she brought home a lively little kitten named PingPong to keep him company.

 

Merlin just wanted her to leave him alone, but before he knew it they were outdoors together in the big world having exactly the kind of hair-raising adventures that always made Merlin shiver just to think about. He did his best to keep her safe and bring her home, but PingPong seemed to find trouble everywhere she went.

 

Then suddenly he was the one who was in trouble and it was PingPong's turn to show him what a good friend a naughty kitten could be.
