00:00Who's afraid of the Big Bad Bunny?
00:29I'm hungry, said Little Lenny Bunny.
00:38I'm very hungry, said Slightly Bigger Benny Bunny.
00:43I'm very, very hungry, said Much Bigger Barney Bunny.
00:48Well someone had better go to the vegetable patch and get some carrots then, because there
00:53are none left, said Little Bitty Betty Bunny.
00:57I'll go, said Little Lenny, and off he went.
01:04Little Lenny Bunny had just pulled up one big juicy carrot when out jumped...
01:09A Big Bad Bully Bunny!
01:19He pushed poor Lenny onto his little bunny bottom and snatched the carrot.
01:26You can't have this carrot, he shouted.
01:29Why not, squeaked Little Lenny.
01:32Because you're really, really stupid, bellowed the Big Bad Bully Bunny, and if you tell anyone
01:39that I took your carrot, I'll squash you flat.
01:46Poor Lenny Bunny went back to his burrow empty-handed.
01:50Why didn't you bring us any carrots, asked his brother and sister.
01:55Because I'm too stupid, said Little Lenny in a very small voice.
01:59No you're not, who told you that, they asked.
02:04But Little Lenny Bunny wouldn't tell.
02:07Don't worry, said Slightly Bigger Benny Bunny.
02:10I'll get us some carrots, and off he went.
02:18Benny Bunny had just pulled up two juicy-looking carrots when out jumped...
02:23The Big Bad Bully Bunny!
02:26He pushed over poor Benny Bunny and snatched the carrots.
02:30You can't have these carrots, he shouted.
02:34Why not, gasped Benny Bunny.
02:38Because you're really, really ugly, and if you tell anyone that I took your carrots,
02:45I'll squash you flat.
02:50Poor Benny Bunny went back home empty-handed.
02:54Why didn't you bring us any carrots, asked Barney and Betty.
02:58Because I'm too ugly, said Benny Bunny in a very small voice.
03:03No you're not, who told you that, they asked.
03:08But Benny Bunny wouldn't tell.
03:11Don't worry, said Much Bigger Barney Bunny.
03:14I'll get us some carrots, and off he went.
03:20Barney Bunny had just pulled up three juicy-looking carrots when out jumped...
03:26The Big Bad Bully Bunny!
03:29You can't have these carrots, he shouted.
03:33Why not, stuttered Barney Bunny.
03:36Because you're really, really fat and wobbly, and if you tell anyone that I took your carrots,
03:43I'll squash you flat.
03:50Poor Barney Bunny went back home empty-handed.
03:54Why didn't you bring us any carrots, either, cried Betty.
03:58Because I'm too fat and wobbly, sniffled Barney Bunny in a very small voice.
04:04No you're not, who told you that, she asked.
04:09But Barney Bunny wouldn't tell.
04:15This is just silly, shouted Itty Bitty Betty Bunny.
04:20Barney, you are not fat or wobbly.
04:23Benny, you're not ugly.
04:26And you are not stupid, Lenny.
04:29Now who's been saying these nasty things to you?
04:33The Big Bad Bully Bunny, said Lenny, Benny and Barney Bunny in three very small voices.
04:39Well, why didn't you say something, said Betty.
04:43Together we can sort out any bad bully.
04:49Itty Bitty Betty Bunny took all of her brothers to the vegetable patch to pick some carrots.
04:55Lenny, Benny and Barney Bunny were very nervous, but they quickly pulled up a great big pile
05:02of carrots and out jumped the Big Bad Bully Bunny.
05:12You can't have these carrots, he shouted.
05:15Why not, asked Betty Bunny.
05:19Because you're just a stupid, ugly, big, fat, wobbly girl, bellowed the Big Bad Bunny.
05:26No I'm not, said the little rabbit.
05:28You are.
05:30No I'm not, cried the Big Bad Bully Bunny.
05:34Just give me those carrots, now.
05:40Then Betty, Lenny, Benny and Barney Bunny all shouted, no.
05:45The Big Bad Bully Bunny was so surprised that he fell onto his Big Bully Bunny bottom with
05:53a great big bump.
05:56But I'm hungry, wailed the Bad Bully Bunny, who suddenly didn't feel so big anymore.
06:03Give me some carrots, he whined, now.
06:07Betty whispered something to Lenny, Benny and Barney, and they all heaved and pushed
06:12until they tipped over the wheelbarrow full of carrots and squashed him flat.
06:22And he never, ever bullied bunnies again.
