Bunnies are nocturnal, which means they are awake all night while you are fast asleep. They have large eyes and ears to help them travel in the dark, sneaking into your garden to hide brightly coloured eggs. Hiding in your garden, they watch with great excitement as you gather the eggs, and at the same time enjoy all the tasty treats growing in your garden. A bunny can get very hungry delivering so many eggs!
Bunnies are special, but they don’t lay eggs! Chickens lay eggs! So how did they get the job of hiding eggs on Easter Sunday? Long ago there was a goddess called Eostre. Her job was to bring spring to the people every year. One year she found a little bird whose wings had frozen in the snow. It made Eostre very sad. She saved the bird, but he could no longer fly. Eostre decided to turn the bird into a rabbit so he could at least run very fast. To make sure he always remembered that he had once been a bird, she magically gave him the ability to lay eggs of all colours on one day a year, which for us is the day we celebrate Easter.
This is a very old rhyme from 1798:
Hot cross buns! Hot cross buns!
One ha’ penny,
Two ha’ penny,
Hot cross buns!
If you have no daughters, Give them to your sons
One ha’ penny,
Two ha’ penny,
Hot Cross Buns!
Easter Humour
She hires Santa’s elves during off-season.
He was having a bad hare day!
He was a little chicken!
An egghead!
Make it wait for three hours!
It might crack up!
A receding “hareline.”
Bugs Bunny.
14 carrot gold.
One with a “hoppy” ending.
Good Idea: Finding Easter eggs on Easter.
Bad Idea: Finding old Easter eggs on Xmas.
