The rabbit was very 3. and he was busy looking for the carrot, digging here and there. He was completely sure that he would find the carrot and the bone. But the dog wasn't optimistic(乐观的) at all. After he looked for the bone for a short time, he 4on the ground sadly. And then he 5to complain. He thought it was difficult for him to find one bone in such a big 6.
The rabbit 7for hours. With every new hole, the dog complained about how difficult this was, even for the rabbit. The rabbit, on the other hand, kept on working hard. 8there was no place in the whole field left to dig, the rabbit dug a tunnel(隧道) to right under where the dog was lying all that time. There he found the carrot and the bone. And this is how the dog lost the competition. 9, he found the right place at the very beginning.
