Dancing Rabbit (USA)

Zorp: Dancing Rabbit? What a charming name! Do you actually dance with rabbits here?

Dancing Rabbit Guide: Not quite! The name comes from the nearby Dancing Rabbit Creek, but who knows? Maybe the rabbits join in sometimes!

Zorp: Hmm, I’ll keep an eye out for them. But this house looks squishy. Does it melt in the rain?

Dancing Rabbit Guide: Not at all! We use natural materials like mud and straw to build strong, eco-friendly homes. They’re warm in winter, cool in summer, and last for years.

Zorp: Mud houses and food from the ground? This is so different! On Zog, we only have… well, caves.

Dancing Rabbit Guide: Here, everything comes from the soil. It’s part of living in harmony with nature.

Zorp: If I move here, do I have to get my antennae muddy?

Dancing Rabbit Guide: Only if you want to help build! But a word of warning, if you move here, we’re pretty strict about sharing. That flying saucepan of yours? You’ll have to share it with the whole community.

Zorp: Share my spaceship? That’s a tough one. If you’re so strict, I bet there aren’t many people living here.

Dancing Rabbit Guide: You’d be surprised! We have about 30 to 40 residents, and there are always visitors and interns coming from all over the world to learn from us.

Zorp: Wow, sounds like a popular place! I’ll think about it… but I’m keeping my antennae clean for now.
