"Making it easier"
A man owned a large dog, and his neighbors' little girl owned a pet rabbit. One day the man comes home and is greeted by his dog with the lifeless body of the rabbit in his mouth, all full of mud and dirt. After lecturing his dog on the evils of his ways, the man tries to come up with some way of making it easier for the little girl. He figures the best he can do is make it look as if the rabbit died a peaceful death. He takes the dead rabbit into his house, cleans the fur up, blow-drys it so the rabbit is fluffy', and sneaks the body back into the rabbit cage in the neighbors garden.
Two hours later, the man hears a loud shriek from the little girl and runs outside. As he sees the state the child is in, he thinks to himself how much worse it would have been without his making the death scene more sympathetic. When he asks the little girl what was wrong, she says "My rabbit died" The man explains to her that all animals must die, and that the rabbit is in a happier place now. "But he died last night, we buried him in the garden...and now he is back in his cage!"
