Well, in Spanish, the word for rabbit, is conejo - so rabbit. - Mamie, if you have never read Gabriel Garcia Marquez, I read his short stories in Spanish my senior year of college (1970), when I lived with four other girls in a rented house off campus, and they were begging me at our communal dinner to tell them the latest story I had read for my next class. "Los Conejitos" and "Funes, el Memorioso", stick in my mind, but they were all good. I do not remember the plot of Los Conejitos, but I will never forget the plot of Funes, el Memorioso, which you will laugh out loud at if you do go read it.

Oopsie, Mamie, the short story author I and my college friends loved so much was Jorge Luis Borges.
The other guy, Cien Anos de Soledad, 100 Years of Solitude, was so arduous a read in Spanish, that I didn't get much out of it other than almost everybody in the book was named Aureliano Buendia, and they all had a redundant caudillo, or tail, as a result of evolution. I tried to read it once in English, but I had such bad memories of trying to read it in Spanish that I just couldn't tackle it. To this day, I still do not know what the book was about.
