"If you look at the toes you will see that they are strong, and that each toe has a thick blunt claw. If we put Bunny out in the garden it would soon begin to scratch up the ground with its claws."SUMMARY
The rabbit has two large chisel teeth, in front of each jaw, for gnawing. Its upper lip is cleft. It has large grinding teeth at the back of the jaws. The jaw moves from side to side, as well as up and down. It is a timid animal; its eyes are at the side of the head; its ears are very sharp. Its front legs are short; and its toes and claws are strong.

"It was beaten out, or rolled out," said Norah. "What does that tell us?" asked Fred.
"It tells us that copper is malleable."
"It is," said Fred, "one of the most malleable of all the metals.
