This engaging ESL/EFL picture story worksheet helps students practise the past simple and past continuous tenses through a humorous animal fable about two rabbit brothers who argue over a carrot, avoid each other, and eventually discover the importance of family loyalty.

Students look at nine colourful cartoon illustrations and write sentences describing what happened in each scene. They practise narrating past events, describing actions in progress, sequencing events, and using when and while.

The story encourages discussion about sibling relationships, arguments, forgiveness, clever problem-solving, and the moral that siblings can count on each other even when they don't always get along.

CEFR level: A2–B1

Age group: Children and young teens (9–15)
