、。
After school, Aya went to the animal hutch in order to take care of the school rabbits.
、。
Today Yui is with her too, and the two of them will do the duty together.
、。
When they arrived in front of the hutch, a white rabbit came close right away.
「」、。
Aya said, “I wonder if it is hungry,” and opened the box of carrots.
、。
First, when she looked at the water dish, there was only a little water.
、。
Yui went to get fresh water, and in the meantime Aya put the feed into the dish.
、。
The brown rabbit was lively, but the white rabbit was a little quiet.
、。
Aya became worried and thought it would be better to have the teacher look at it.
、。
When she called out to Tanaka-sensei, who was just passing nearby, the teacher looked inside the hutch at once.
「」。
The teacher said, “It probably just did not eat very much at noon.”
、。
Hearing that, Aya felt a little relieved.
、、。
But because the floor of the hutch was quite dirty, the two of them decided to clean it too.
、。
They gathered the old grass with a broom and also changed the newspaper to fresh sheets.
、。
While Yui was holding open the garbage bag outside, Aya was wiping the wooden box.
、。
The work was more than they had expected, but when they did it one thing at a time, the end gradually came into view.
、。
By about that time, the white rabbit began to eat the carrot little by little.
「。」。
Aya said softly, “That is good. You have started to get better, haven’t you?”
、。
After cleaning, the two of them checked together whether they had shut the hutch door properly or not.
、。
That was because before, the door had been left open and they had been warned by the teacher.
、。
Today they were careful until the end, so there was nothing forgotten either.
、。
By the time the work was finishing, the sky had become a little red.
「、」。
Yui laughed and said, “Every day is hard, but when I look at the rabbits’ faces, my tiredness goes down.”
、「、」。
Feeling the same way, Aya also said, “So that it will be easy for the next person on duty to understand too, let’s leave a memo.”
、。
The two of them wrote in a notebook the amount of feed and the things they had noticed, and then went to return the key to the staff room.
、。
When they looked at the hutch one more time before going home, the two rabbits were resting quietly side by side.
