My first camping trip was my last, thanks to a three-foot hopper known as the
“Jackalope.” It was our third night and my buddy, Melvin, and I were sitting around the
campfire after dinner. Suddenly, a flash of white fur with antlers tore out of the bushes. I
froze in terror as the sniffling and snarling hare grabbed our marshmallows, graham
crackers, and chocolate bars, and then took off into the woods. I was so freaked out that I
ran all the way to the ranger station to report the robber Jackalope. The rangers roared
with laughter and went back to their card game. I just hope you believe my story.
