There's a lot of strength when we get together.

"by

So are you leaving?" Rabbit asked.

Mother guinea pig nodded. A few guinea pigs rubbed and squeezed at her feet.

"These babies won't have any problems here." Rabbit patted his chest." We'll take care of them, won't we, beaver?"

The beaver nodded as well, smiling as he turned to look at the guinea pig that had climbed onto his tail.

"Dr. Badger asked us to bring these to you." Rabbit handed over a small bag." He said that this is chrysanthemum and can be soaked in water to drink. He said that he would bring it along for you to use."

"Chrysanthemum…flower?" The guinea pig mother took the bag.

"Yes. Dr. Badger says it calms the mind and reduces anxiety if you drink it in water." Beaver scratched his head." I don't know why he wants you to drink this."

" Dr. Badger…" Mother Guinea Pig hesitated for a moment." Did he see it…"

"Look

Come out what?" Rabbit rummaged in his bag."Let me tell you something funny. The mole told me."

"Okay."

"Look, this is a chrysanthemum, right?" The rabbit held up a chrysanthemum, as if to conjure.

"Yes…"

" Hehe," Rabbit glanced at the beaver." Actually, there are many chrysanthemums here!"

"Is…is it?" The guinea pig mother hesitated.

"This looks like flower petals, right?" The rabbit tore off a petal." It's actually a flower! You can tell if you look closely. Over here! Can you tell?"

"Oh…that's true."

"This looks like a stamen, right?" Rabbit carefully opened the petals." Actually, it's also a flower! Impressive, right?"

"Li…awesome." Mother guinea pig nodded.

Rabbit nodded with satisfaction. "So a chrysanthemum is not a chrysanthemum, but many chrysanthemums."

"That's right."

"Oh, oh, and this is for you from the mole." Rabbit patted the beaver." Here it is."

The beaver also pulled out a small bag. "Guess what this is?"

The guinea pig mother's nose moved a few times: "sunflower seeds?"

"That's right!" Rabbit's ears pricked up.'The mole said you liked it, so he got you some. This is the same kind of chrysanthemum that Doctor Badger gave you!"

"It's like this." Mother guinea pig nodded.

"They are all big flowers gathered together and become a big flower." The beaver added,"The mole says it's called a capitulum, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Rabbit nodded. "There are even more powerful ones! Do you know why they want so many small flowers gathered together to become a big flower?"

The guinea pig mother shook her head gently.

" It's because…" Rabbit blinked." When we gather together, we have more strength!"

Dolphin

Mother Mouse trembled and stared into Rabbit's eyes.

"That's what the mole said." Rabbit looked at the beaver." Right?"

The beaver was engrossed in a game of race with the guinea pig on its tail.

"That's what the mole said." Rabbit said helplessly. "You see, chrysanthemums also need bees to pollinate them."

Mother guinea pig nodded in confusion.

"And then, the cost of blooming a flower is too high." Rabbit broke his fingers." You have to make petals and stamens. In short, it's very laborious."

"And Chrysanthemum doesn't have that much strength. What to do? A single flower would be too small for bees to see. Then put a lot of flowers together to open it! That will attract bees."

"This is what it means to gather together and have great strength!" Rabbit blinked his eyes in satisfaction." Did I speak well?"

"That's what the mole said." The beaver mutters as he carefully cares for the guinea pig cub that climbs onto his back.

"More or less." Rabbit looked at the guinea pig mother,"hey what's wrong with you?" So touched?"

Big tears were rolling out of the guinea pig mother's eyes.

" No…" The guinea pig mother sobbed." You all saw it, didn't you…Thank you…"

"What do you see?" The rabbit pricked up its ears curiously.

The beaver carefully held the guinea pigs in his palm and said nothing.

The guinea pig mother took a deep breath and stopped sobbing. "I escaped."

"Huh?" Rabbit opened his mouth wide.

"I

We have a lot of guinea pigs and we live together." The guinea pig mother said,"One day suddenly came a very fierce big guy, he told us that we should all listen to him in the future." There were a few who tried to resist, but they were all eaten by him."

"What?" Rabbit's ears perked up as well." How…so…"

"We had to listen to him, he told us not to leave, but also a few days to come once, eat one or two of our companions..." guinea pig mother began to cry again,"we are very afraid." A few tried to escape, but he caught them and ate them."

Rabbit widened its eyes and clenched its fists. The beaver opened his mouth wide in surprise and forgot to chew the bark.

"I didn't want my baby... to be eaten too..." the guinea pig mother sniffed,"so I ran away."

"He fainted on the road and was saved by you." Mother guinea pig wiped her tears. "I originally wanted to find a more powerful animal and chase him away…"

"Let's go deal with him!" Rabbit clenched his fists and looked at the beaver." Call Dr. Badger, Dr. Woodpecker, Mole…Well, forget about the mole…If only the fox were still here…"

" No need..." Mother Guinea Pig shook her head and wiped the tears off her face." Dr. Badger and Mole are right. It's more powerful when they gather together..."

"We can also join you." Rabbit said anxiously,"Anyway, we are older than you, and we can fight better, right?"

Dolphin

Mother Mouse continued to shake her head. "This is a matter for us guinea pigs. We can only rely on ourselves to solve it…If we rely on you or other big animals, you will always have to leave…"

Rabbit thought for a moment and his eyes dimmed.

"Although each of us guinea pigs is very small." Mother guinea pig said,"But we have more. When gathered together, their strength will be great."

"I'm not going to look for it."

"I want to go back and tell my comrades to put their strength together." Mother guinea pig raised her head with clenched fists."We'll get rid of him. Although we are small, we also have teeth and claws. We're just…too scattered."

"Just like a chrysanthemum." Mother guinea pig pulls off a petal. "But if we gather together, there will be no problem!"

" Really…" Rabbit hesitated." You really don't need us to go back with you?"

The guinea pig mother shook her head gently but firmly. "I just need to trouble you guys…to take care of my babies…okay?"

" That's no problem…" Rabbit said." Really…Don't you need us to come with you?"

The guinea pig mother shook her head, her eyes shining with a light that the rabbit had never seen before. Like the stars.

"We'll sort it out ourselves. They're strong together, like chrysanthemums, aren't they?"
