Timothy Bunny and The Egg Mystery

Timothy Bunny sniffed. Something smelled good. He hopped quietly over to the window and peeked out. There, on the lawn, he saw his two sisters and two brothers. He heard Amanda say, "Oh, that's too funny."

He wanted to go out too, but his mother said he could not. Timothy had been bad the day before. He had gone out in the rain to play and had gotten too wet and cold. Now he had the sniffles. And it was just before Easter too. "Easter will not be any fun," moaned Timothy.

"Timothy! What are you doing?' said Mother Bunny. Quickly Timothy hopped back to his bed. "Timothy, you have made your own punishment. You must stay home this Easter. You cannot help us give out the Easter eggs to the good girls and boys. Now stay in bed, and if you are good, maybe you too will get a surprise."

Two big tears had welled up in Timothy's two brown eyes. However, at the mention of a surprise, Timothy brushed them away and snuggled down to read a book while he waited. His eyes grew heavier and heavier. Soon he was too sleepy to keep them open any longer. Timothy began to dream....

He opened his eyes and looked around. "Why, this is the new Easter egg factory." Happily he looked down. "I'm sitting on top of a rainbow of eggs." Seeing two pretty browns ones below him, he reached down to pick them up. Then it happened! All the eggs began to move, and Timothy with them. Quick as a wink, he was spinning through space. Faster and faster he turned with ears flapping and paws kicking the air. Down, down, down, he went, and then....bump!

Timothy opened his eyes. He was on the floor and his mother and his two sisters and his two brothers were standing over him laughing.

"Surprise, surprise!" they all laughed, as Mother Bunny handed Timothy a package.

Timothy opened his present. Inside sat two pretty blue eggs. "Eggs don't smell like that," he whispered to himself. He took a bite. He took another bite. Chocolate! Timothy's cheeks pulled into a smile. "Thank you, Mother, for my two yummy surprises," he said happily.
