The rough grass was rich in buttercups and dandelions, and the leveret amused me with its careful eating habits. Grass it would eat from the tip of the blade down to the stem, flowers the reverse. It would snip dandelions off at the root and gradually draw the stem into its mouth until the vivid yellow petals hovered at its muzzle, whereupon it would neatly sever the flower head and let it fall by its paws.
