Chapter 68 - Be Chill
Merlot pressed her little butt against the fan as it hummed away. The cool air blowing against the nap of her fur felt good. “This is nice!” she thought.
Summer had arrived as suddenly as a starship dropping out of warp drive. One day it was a comfortable spring day in the low 70s. The next day, it was sweltering summer heat in the high 80s. Her summer coat wasn’t ready, no matter how fast she shed. She needed some relief.
Dad turned on the cold air machine for them, which helped. But it was on the wall above her head. To redirect the cold air to a different part of the room, Dad placed a box fan on the floor. Being a curious rabbit, Merlot went over to investigate this new device. As soon as she stepped in front of it, she felt a blast of cool air. “That’s the ticket!” she thought. She turned her butt towards the fan and settled into a comfortable loaf position.
Enzo came wandering over and saw Merlot parked in front of the fan. “Whatcha doin’?” he asked. Merlot explained, “This is nice! It’s like turbo-boost for the cold air machine. You should try it!” Enzo stepped in front of the fan and felt the blast of cold air fluff up his mane. “Ooohh, dis IS nice!” he said.
He walked around to the back of the fan, where the cool air from the cold air machine was being pulled into the fan. He sprawled out across the fan, letting the cool air flow all over his body. “Dis good!” he thought.
The two rabbits were in heaven. They had found their new best friend.
Merlot discovers a new way to keep cool, and shares it with Enzo.
