In a cottage, in a wood,
Little old man at the window stood,
Saw a rabbit running by,
Knocking at the door.
"Help me! Help me!" the rabbit said,
"Or the hunter will shoot me dead!"
"Come, little rabbit, come with me,
Happy we will be!"

Actions :
cottage - draw outline of roof
wood - hands and forearms held vertical

A second version (not recommended for Rainbows and Brownies!) ends
"Come little rabbit, come with me -
And we'll have rabbit pie for tea!"
