Mum has hidden nine little easter eggs and a golden bunny in Sasha’s garden. But where is the golden bunny hiding?
Katie found a basket. “Let’s go and look for the easter eggs,” she says to Poppy. Once in the garden, they decide where to look first.
Marks comes into the garden with his bucket and rake. “What are you two up to?” he asks.”We’re on an easter egg hunt,” they tell him “do you want to help?” “Great” and he enthusiastically joins in the search.
“I’ve found a pretty blue one”, giggles Katie, “and it matches my dress.”
“I see a gold one” Mark calls out, “it is in an awkward place though.” Poppy looks across at Mark. “I am glad you found that one, I wouldn’t have wanted to spoil my dress,” she says primly.
They all continue searching for the eggs and the elusive golden bunny. Poppy finds a pretty pink egg. Secretly everyone hopes they will find the golden bunny!
“I’m going to count the eggs,” Katie tells Poppy and Mark as she sits down on a moss-covered rock. “I’ve found two red eggs” Mark calls. He carries them over to her. “Put them into the basket, Mark.” “That’s 7 then, we still have 2 more and the bunny to find. Mum said she hid 9 eggs as well as the bunny. I wonder where the bunny is?”
They continue the hunt. “I’ve found it, I’ve found it, the golden bunny” squeals a delighted Katie. Marks comes over to look into the basket. “I’ve found the last two eggs” and he drops them into the basket.
“Katie, can I look at the golden bunny?” Poppy asks.
Still clutching the golden bunny Poppy tells Katie “I’ll carry the bunny for you” and she heads for the house. “We could carry the basket between us,” Mark says to Katie. “It is quite heavy isn’t it?”
Katie sits on the floor “I’ll start sharing out the eggs.” “I am sooooooo tired,” Mark says as he collapses into the nearest chair. “What have you been up to?” Poppy asks suspiciously. “I went for a really long walk with Gillie and Shane yesterday. We walked around the old quarry. I was climbing trees and everything! It was great fun. Even brought a snack with me.”
Soon, they are all eating chocolate and chatting happily with each other. “Don’t eat all that chocolate at once?” mum tells them. “The golden bunny is just too pretty to eat yet,” Katie says as she puts it on the mantelpiece. “I’ll put it over here so it doesn’t get mixed up with the others. I don’t want someone else to eat it by mistake!”
