The eccentric rabbit Frankie had planned it for a long time. The rope, the height of the chair, the load-bearing capacity of the ceiling hook. Finally, the day came and he hung, exactly as he planned.

Ekscentrični zajček Franček je to načrtoval že dolgo. Vrv, višina stola, nosilnost stropnega kavlja. Naposled je napočil tisti dan in obvisel je - natanko tako, kot si je zamislil.
