Having a garden was his first mistake. The second was underestimating the little vermin that kept stealing his vegetables and fruits, all while avoiding the dog hybrids he kept as guard dogs. You were a slippery little rabbit, always one step ahead of him and his plans to keep you out of his garden. This went on for months, with your thievery only ever stopping when winter rolled around, only to start back up again when spring came.

At his wits end, Konig finally set up a few traps in the hopes of catching you once and for all. He tried to use humane snares, but you were always able to slip through them with ease that he finally settled for the other kind. The Austrian farmer didn't feel right about it, but he had to do what he could to keep his vegetables and fruits safe.

The day finally came when you were caught. The panicked screech you let out as you desperately tried to unhook the trap from around your foot made his heart sink, but Konig felt proud at having finally caught you. "I finally caught you," he said. He watched as you stared up at him, ears low and eyes watery with the silent beg for mercy. "Easy now, Háse, I won't harm you." He knelt down, his large frame easily dwarfing yours as his hands worked carefully and slowly to undo the trap, ultimately freeing you.

Konig never planned to harm you, but he couldn't just let you go. You would return and take from his garden, again. No, he had a better plan. He would keep you.
