Rabbit was gifted paints as a child
and became a painter.
Hedgehog learned all seven notes by heart,
and became a musician.
Cat didn't learn anything by heart,
but he played football very well.

No, of course he wanted to learn how to do something, but...
"I couldn't become a musician,
or a builder...
...then I will try to become a painter!"
He tried,
but he couldn't become a painter either.
"Yeah,
you can't catch a rabbit with bare hands."
GLUE
"Glue..."
"Glue!"
"Here is the best tool in the world for catching painters!"
"What should I make the bait out of?"
PLASTICINE CLAY
"Who sculpted this beauty with pink eyes?"
"I did."
"Wonderful!" said Hedgehog.
"Excellent work!"
"Amazing!"
they all said.
"You are a real sculptor."
"Sculptor?"
"Yes, yes," repeated Rabbit,
and ran away, just in case.
And Fox did not run after him.
"Let the painter hop around," smiled the Fox,
who now had something more interesting to do!
