Stephan is a paper boy. The unluckiest paper boy in the world. He only has one delivery to make and some would consider that to be quite easy. His customer however, lives on a peak tucked away in the Alps.

Every morning, Stephan has to wrestle with his wiry old bicycle and pick up the days paper from Monsieur Picpoc at the base of Mont Blanc before his long and tiring journey up the mountain and beyond.

Stephan has never met the customer, he has always just pushed the paper through the door and left. The trip back down the mountains makes the journey worth it in Stephan's eyes. This is just as well because if Stephan ever discovered he had been delivering papers to an elderly and partially blind rabbit that had taken residence in the remote cabin some years ago, he would probably be very disappointed indeed.

The rabbit did enjoy the daily supply of fresh bedding.
