Then they begin to pick colorful ingredients one by one, from lean, green runner beans and crunchy orange carrots to fresh sprigs of parsley and roly-poly blueberries. Meanwhile, their pet rabbit Stew nervously watches with his bunny family, all of them getting more and more worried about which ingredient is coming next. Finally the brothers have
almost everything they need. All that's missing is one... big... round... white... bowl! And in a deliciously sweet ending, they use the bowl to serve the concoction to their favorite rabbit, Stew! And his family, too.
