The small brown rabbit buttoned up the bronze buttons of his new tweed
coat and slithered along with the shadows until he had made his way into the haberdashery.
He scanned the workplace for any signs of potential threats; his ears tilted
forward and his nose constantly twitching. Some voices echoed faintly across
the room. He slinked back into the shadows and waited until the voices
dissolved into the distance. Hesitantly, he emerged farther into the light and
began to make his way towards the boxes of freshly made hats. As soon as it
became clear to him that no workers were near, he engulfed himself in the hats.
He went through boxes and boxes of them. There were top hats and bowler hats
and fedoras and many, many others. Finally, he came across the perfect page boy
cap to match his new tweed coat. Unfortunately, he had gone through so many boxes
of hats that the stack he had unconsciously created toppled over and crashed to
the ground. The rabbit popped out of the pile with his hat firmly in his paws
just to see two security guards rushing towards him. He scrambled out of the
hats as he saw their shadows pooling around him. He sprinted as fast as he could
and leaped out of the half-open window. He landed safely, albeit a little
startled. Placing the cap on his furry head, he hopped happily to his home.
