The Two Rabbits by Dr F W Boreham

Published in the Victorian Baptist Witness (no date). Read what F W Boreham confesses when he writes, "I have an ugly habit, for example..."

“We were shooting down in the gully behind Maori Leap.” This is up the Taieri River at the first main bend from the mouth of the river.

John Broadbanks and I were enjoying a glorious month in the wilds. On the evening of which I am thinking we were shooting down in the gully behind Maori Leap.¹ The entire party had been out on the boat all day; and, after tea, the ladies had reminded us that the cupboard was as bare as old Mother Hubbard’s. John and I picked up our guns and set off for the spot at which rabbits were most likely to be found.
