A starving rabbit came upon a farmer's lettuce garden which was surrounded by a picket fence. The rabbit knew that he must eat soon or he would die. The problem the rabbit faced was that he could barely squeeze through the fence even in his hungry condition. If he were to go inside and eat the lettuce, he would be too fat to escape should the farmer come by. The other problem facing the rabbit was that the lettuce was too large to push through the fence. How could the rabbit manage to eat the lettuce and still be able to escape?
