Once upon a time there was a rabbit named Royal. One day, Royal came home from the park to the delicious smell of baking carrot cake. Carrot cake (in his opinion) was the best dessert in the whole entire world! “Dad! Are you making carrot cake?” he exclaimed. “Yes sweety.” his dad replied. “Didn’t I tell you? Ruby's surprise party is tonight!” “Oh yeah! Now I remember. Yay!” Royal had completely forgotten about his mom’s birthday! He was so excited! He couldn’t wait to see everyone, but the thing he was most excited about was the carrot cake! When the cake came out of the oven, Royal immediately asked, “Can I have a bite?” His father responded, “No. We have to wait until the party.” Royal really wanted to have some cake, so as soon as his father’s back was turned, he hopped up on the counter and was about to eat it when his dad said, “Royal! What do you think you’re doing? Go to your room this instant!” As Royal dragged his feet over to his room, his dad added, “Also, your room is a mess so clean it!” Thirty minutes later, his dad called to him, “Royal, you may come down when your room is clean.” Before he even finished his sentence, Royal came bounding out of his room. “My room is all clean and I’m deeply sorry I tried to eat the cake. I really shouldn't have, and it was wrong.” he said “Well I can see that someone thought things over.” his dad responded. “I need to finish a few things up. Could you play outside for a little bit so I can concentrate?” A little while later, Royal came scrambling down into the burrow yelling, “She’s home, she’s home!” “Already? I thought that she was coming home at 4:30! It’s 3:13! She can’t be home yet!” his dad exclaimed as he ran out of the kitchen and headed for the entrance of the burrow. And she wasn’t. When Royal was in his room, he wasn’t cleaning it. He had cleaned it that morning. Instead he was making a plan to get the cake that he wanted so badly. Here was his plan:
He hopped up on the counter and dipped his finger in the homemade frosting. It was delicious! He was about to dip his finger back in, when he heard a footstep. Royal spun around and there was his dad. “Get off the counter this minute! I can’t believe you. You lied to me about being sorry, you lied to me about Ruby coming home early, just so you could eat some cake. Go to your room and don’t come back until I say so.” Royal slowly walked over to his room. A little while later, he heard his dad calling. ‘‘Royal! You can come back now. Ruby’s here.’’ Royal came down to enjoy the party, and enjoy it he did! His mom’s best friend, Lisa, was the mom of Royal’s best friend, Leonard. Obviously Lisa was invited, and she brought Leonard! Royal and Leo (as Royal called him) played together in Royal’s room. Time flew by and before they knew it, they were being called for cake. “Leonard! Royal! Time for cake!” The boys ran out of their room and walked into the dining room where everyone was seated at the oval-shaped table. They took their seats and sang Hoppy Birthday to Ruby. The cake was passed around. When it got to Royal though, his Dad said " I think you've had enough cake for today." and passed it on to the next rabbit. So Royal just sat there watching everyone else eat the delicious cake while he had none. The moral of this story is to have patience.
