The Wabbit, Lovely Lapinette and their diplomatic guests
gathered to have a post adventure drink in a nearby cafe. "Did I hear mention of
carrot aperitivi?" said the Wabbit. The aperitivi duly appeared on the table and
everyone chatted enthusiastically. "There was something I wanted to ask," said the
Wabbit. "Can you tell me what your top level talks were about?" "Oh," said Pink
Bunny, "that is most hush-hush." "Das ist verboten," said Rettet Kaninchen. Lapinette
looked at the Wabbit. "I suppose anything that’s not forbidden is allowed!" she
laughed. Pink Bunny laughed too. "In that case, we can tell you that the Agents
of Rabit have been setting up puppet governments and our job is to stop them," she
said. "Puppet Governments," mused the Wabbit and he imagined a parliament full
of Pinocchios. "I can see what you’re thinking," said Lapinette. "No you can’t," smiled the Wabbit and he
changed his thoughts to a parliament crammed with Punch and Judy characters. But
just as they were hitting each other with police truncheons, Lapinette broke
in. "Punch is funny," she said. "How did you know I was thinking of Punch and
Judy?" asked the Wabbit. "Lucky guess?" said Lapinette sweetly. "Puppets can be nice, like Kasper in Hohensteiner
Puppenspiele!" said Rettet Kaninchen. "When
Good Puppets go Bad," sighed the Wabbit.
