The Tale of Bouncy Bunny and the Package

Dufus Dog and Kitty Cat were best of friends. They lived in the quiet northern town of Pettsburry (that's in Canada, eh! Not in UK) and had a big yard where they could play with each other all day long. Each day before dinner they would run around the yard and play games like tag or woof meow. They always had lots of fun. They also had a very friendly neighbour named Bouncy Bunny. That afternoon Bouncy Bunny came bouncing over with a package she had just received in the mail. The three of them all sat around the package with excitement in their eyes. They sat around it guessing what it could be. After about five minutes of discussing what wonderful things may be in the box, they couldn't resist any longer and proceeded in opening the box. "What could it be? What could it be?" they all said in excitement. A couple of Bouncy Bunny's younger siblings peered across the yard and were curious why there was so much excitement in the air, so they quickly hopped over to see. They got the box open and were surprised with a brand new GPS. "A GPS? What is that?" enquired Dufus Dog and Kitty Cat. Bouncy Bunny told them about a friend of hers that did something called geocaching. "Geocaching? Wow that sounds like a lot of fun." The younger bunnies were also really excited about it. But since it was almost dinner time, the five of them thought that it would be best if they would eat something first. They ate very quickly and off they went.

They entered the coords and headed west in the direction that the GPS pointed. "Only seven hundred meters away. That shouldn't take us long at all", replied Bouncy Bunny. They continued along the trail. “Only ninety five meters left to go”, shouted Dufus Dog. "We should be there in no time", they said. They were all excited by what they may find when they get there. "I hope there's at least five items in there, so that we all can have something", said Bouncy Bunny's younger siblings. They were very close now and they started their search in hopes of finding the mysterious geocache. Then Dufus Dog saw something poking out from behind a gate. They all looked there in excitement. Kitty Cat retrieved the cache from it's hiding spot. They felt that good fortune was on their side as they had found the cache. They all huddled around the plastic container as they opened it up. There were lots of things in it and they each traded something. They returned the cache and returned home. "Wow, what a fun time we had", they all agreed. As they got home and told their parents about their adventure. However, a question still remained. Who had sent them the GPS? The package did not have the sender's name on it.
