Hoppity-Hop is a plucky rabbit who knows to fight karate, which his grandfather taught him. All the animals in the forest live nicely and peacefully thanks to Hoppity, who defends them against naughty animals. He tries to convince everybody to eat carrots, but he’s not successful always. By using karate, he defeats and chases a lion who had kidnapped a baby deer. Another visitor is a fearful dragon, spitting fire. Hoppity uses his intelligence and lures him to a strawberry field, knowing that dragons are allergic to these fruits. The dragon gets ill, coughs, his nose is running, he can no longer spit fire and he cries desperately. The rabbit cures him with carrots and advises him to take everyday showers and brush his teeth, because he was very smelly. At last, an ogre kidnaps a beautiful rabbit girl and Hoppity uses again a trick to get the girl free. They fall in love and marry. The author is the best man at the wedding and is told to prepare himself to soon be a godfather.
