The Mural Story: A sweet rabbit whispers in the ear of a lonely young lady the secrets of the Rabbit World, where life is not 'detestable' - one can read, ride a bicycle, pick cherries, climb trees, do circus acts and even climb the moon. She is very lost, as one of her dear rabbits lies recuperating on a satin pillow after a tragic mishap of his severed ear. Will the 'Rabbitman à la Neptune' come to console and court her?
