The episode is a children's story titled 'Bunny-Boy' from 'The Son's Babies' by Edith House. It begins with Bunny-Boy's mother telling him to stay inside and not go outside because there are boys about. Bunny-Boy thinks this is nonsense and decides to run away to see the world as soon as his mother leaves. He slips out with his white tail bobbing and eyes shining with delight. Bunny-Boy first meets a Skylark sitting on her nest and invites her to join him, but she declines because she has to sit on her eggs. The Skylark asks if his mother knows he's going, causing Bunny-Boy to run off without answering. Next, Bunny-Boy comes to a hill where other Bunny Boys and Bunny Girls live, and they invite him to stay and play. He refuses, saying he's going to see the world, which they question, and he mentions the big fence. They warn they'll tell his mother, but he runs faster. Bunny-Boy goes through the big fence into a field of oats where men are busy cutting the oats. The noise frightens him, and he scampered out of the field. The story follows a narrative arc from disobedience to adventure and fear. It uses simple language and repetitive structures typical for young children.
