The Rabbit Rules
as excerpted from a letter
by Walter Elliot
1
¹Rabbits are the greatest species. ²Rabbits do not need violence to achieve their goals. ³Rabbits succeed with intelligence, hard work and determination. 4The world will be saved by good rabbits.
2
¹A good rabbit is helpful to other rabbits, ²because rabbits are worthy of help. ³A good rabbit is helpful to all, 4because helping others improves the world. 5A good rabbit gives the best they can, 6because the world needs all a rabbit can offer.
3
¹A good rabbit is honest, ²because deception is a hindrance to happiness. ³A good rabbit respects every day, 4because each day is an opportunity to share their happiness with others. 5A good rabbit does not take from others, 6because theft breeds malevolence. 7A good rabbit is not envious, 8because jealously breeds resentment.
4
¹A good rabbit reserves their anger, ²because solutions are more important than vengeance. ³A good rabbit respects life, 4because to kill is to destroy part of the world.
5
¹A good rabbit does not waste his seed or her egg, ²because a rabbit life is precious. ³A good rabbit accepts any opportunity with a gracious mate, 4because the world needs more good rabbits. 5A good rabbit does not mate too close to their line, 6because diversity breeds healthy rabbits.

¹Rabbits are the greatest species. ²The world will be saved by good rabbits.
