So they raced off to the local pet shop and bought one. It looked just the same to them. They raced back and put it into its hutch and then went back home.
A little while later the couple came home, drove their car up the drive, stopped, got out and went across the garden crying. The couple with the dog saw them. Suddenly they stopped and began to scream and hold each other! The couple with the dog ran out and said over the garden fence,
'Is everything all right?'
'No! It's wrong with it?'
'It's alive!'i
'What's wrong with that?'
'Well, it died yesterday and we buried it!'
