Beast of Burden

Gusty winds start Willows under siege depart A bird and a rabbit wallows Under the trees on burrows... The bird said to the rabbit, "Why do you keep on digging?" The rabbit replied, "To keep myself warm and safe." The bird asked again, "Don't you have a home?" "This is my home," said the rabbit. "Don't you have a family?" asked the bird. "All my family members were devoured by beasts. I was the only one who survived. You shouldn't be playing around here, you might eat me too!" The bird said, "I may look like a beast because of my size. Yes... I am a falcon, but I'm not like the others of my own kind." "Why are you talking to me?" asked the rabbit. "For you to know that not all beasts are bad." (Prosebite)
