attack.
    â€œWe need to lure it into the cage with carrots,” said Steve. “You guys distract the bunny and I’ll get the carrots.”
    Lucy and Kyra jumped atop the wall. Then Lucy shot an arrow at the bunny but it hopped to avoid the flinging arrow. Kyra also shot an arrow. The bunny was too busy avoiding the arrows to notice Steve passing by and grabbing a handful of carrots.
    â€œThe cage is done!” Max shouted. He placed it next to the wall and then jumped up to join Adam, Kyra, and Lucy on top of the wall.
    Steve threw carrots down as he sprinted toward the wall to avoid a deadly attack from this vicious rabbit. Just as the rabbit leapt toward him, Steve quickly threw a carrot into the cage and jumped onto the wall.
    The bunny had nobody left to fight. It looked up at the group and then down at the ground, noticing the carrots that lay on in the grass near the cage. It took a bite of a carrot and happily devoured the orange vegetable. Then it hopped toward the next carrot that lay near the cage and ate it.
    Steve was excited. “It’s getting close to the cage.”
    â€œOnce it goes in the cage, who will close the door?” asked Max.
    â€œI’ll do it,” said Adam. “Once the rabbit takes its first bite of the carrot in the cage, I’ll jump down and slam the door shut.”
    They stared at the bunny waiting for it to enter the cage and take a bite of the carrot. It slowly finished the carrot it was chewing.
    â€œI hope it’s not full,” said Lucy.
    The bunny took its last bite of the carrot and walked toward the cage. Its floppy ears perked up when it saw the carrot lying in the cage.
    It cautiously made its way into the cage and took a bite.
    Thump! Adam jumped to the ground and with one hand, he trapped the bunny in the cage.

    â€œ D o you think the bunny could figure out how to break out of the cage?” asked Lucy. “It’s so scary and dangerous.”
    â€œI think it should be fine,” said Max, “We need to find Henry. When I was making the cage, I had an idea. Maybe we can set up a trap for the griefer.”
    â€œThat’s an amazing idea!” said Kyra.
    â€œWhat type of trap?” asked Steve.
    â€œWe can create something very valuable that the griefer might want to steal or destroy and we can wait by it until the griefer arrives. Once the griefer shows up, we can trap him and then find Henry.”
    â€œThat sounds like a great idea,” said Steve. “What should we make?”
    â€œI was thinking we could build a small house. The griefer would be curious because it’ll be new and there might be valuables in it,” said Max.
    â€œGreat!” said Kyra. “And then I can live in it once we trap the griefer because I have no home.”
    â€œWhere should we build it?” asked Steve.
    â€œI think we should build it between your house and Kyra’s house. Sound good?” asked Max.
    â€œYes, let’s get started on that right away,” said Kyra. She jumped up and immediately walked toward the field where they planned to build the house.
    â€œWe need to get some wood,” said Steve as they stood on the empty lot where they were going to build the home.
    â€œI have a bunch of wood,” Kyra told the gang. “But not enough to make a house.”
    â€œWooden homes are very vulnerable,” said Steve. “They can be destroyed by creepers and can burn quickly.”
    â€œBut we don’t want to use all of our resources building a house to trick a griefer,” said Adam.
    â€œBut Kyra said she might want to live there,” said Steve.
    â€œKyra can live with me until she builds a real home,” said Adam. “Right now, we need to focus on the griefer. I need to find Thomas and you need to find Henry, and we all need this griefer to stop destroying everything we create. It will take me months to get all of my potions back.”
