Chestnut slowly turned around and faced the three rabbits.
"I'm from a place you'd never wish to see, a place that's worse than any elil-filled field with you in the middle."
Fiver glanced at Hazel.
"Carry on," said Hazel.
"I was a hutch rabbit once. I was born in a hutch, but then the humans who cared for us-- something happened, and me, my mother, and my sister were sent away. My mother and sister were taken before me, then I was took in a hrududu to a big building." He stopped to swallow. "The place they took me was white, and smelt unbearably clean. The pen I was in was too small to pass hraka comfortably, and every day, they stabbed me with a needle. Numerous times I felt ill, sick enough to die, but they kept on sticking these things in my fur, and 'testing' powder on my ears. Then one day, I was taken to a small room, and put on a table. There was a noise from the next room. The door was open, so I jumped and ran, and I hid. I eventually found my way out of the building and into a field. To my left was a black river with hrududu on it, racing faster than Frith could run, and to my right was a wood."
Hazel and Bigwig were astounded by Chestnut's story, but Fiver was less enthusiastic for him to go on.
Where does Chestnut go in his story?
