Easter Story

20th Apr 2014 11:44 I'm quite proud of this, I wanted to keep it somewhere
Once upon a time in the deepest, darkest jungle where the sun can't reach and the creepy crawlies grumble, the trees grew tall and the flowers did too, 'til they were as big as small canoe.
Deep in the heart of the deepest darkest jungle, where the sun can't reach and the creepy crawlies grumble, there was a single tree that was different from the rest. It was small and it was slight, and tucked in its branches was a nest.
The nest was huge and lined with moss. It was cosy and velvet-soft. The coco bird lives in this big soft nest. It has rainbow wings and a bright blue crest.
The Coco Bird sat and waited in the jungle, where the sun cant reach and the creepy crawlies grumble. It had three eggs, sitting in the nest, one blue, one green and one quite unlike the rest.
The third egg was shiny and gold and light. Something about it wasn't quite right. But the Coco Bird kept it cosy in her nest,hoping that when it hatched, it would be just like the rest.
Deep in the heart of the deepest darkest jungle, where the sun can't reach and the creepy crawlies grumble, the Easter Bunny was running through the trees, with her long floppy ears flapping in the breeze.
"Help me, help me, help me, please!" the Easter Bunny cried, as she dashed through the trees. "There are people in the jungle who want to put me in a stew!"
"Don't worry little rabbit, I will hide you!" the Coco Bird called down from her tree. The Easter Bunny looked up and she felt relieved. She climbed the tree and got into the nest. She could barely breathe; she was very distressed.
"The jungle is dangerous for a bunny like you, the people here would catch you and put you in a stew!" the Coco Bird said. "Why are you here, lost and alone? Surely you would rather be safe and sound at home!"
"I was looking for my egg," the Easter Bunny said. "I dropped it from my basket and picked up this instead!"
The Easter Bunny went into her basket and pulled out something round, a speckled blue egg that she had found upon the ground.
"I had a chocolate egg, it was shiny gold and bright, I must have dropped it in the jungle in the middle of the night. It must have been here or very near abouts, cos I slept under your tree when I got all tuckered out!"
"Well that's funny," the coco bird said, "my egg fell out of the nest, and when I brought it back I saw it wasn't like the rest!"
She lifted up her wing and showed the Easter Bunny, who began rolling around laughing, because she found it awful funny.
"Well I never!" the Easter Bunny giggled. She picked up the gold egg and her gave her tail a happy wriggle. "Everything is fine! I have yours and you have mine!"
"Do I really?" asked the Coco Bird. "I can't tell which one is mine. Silly rabbit, I'm a bird, I'm totally colour-blind."
"Oh right," said the Easter Bunny, and gave her back her egg. "That's enough adventure for today, now I'm off to bed."
The coco bird was happy now that her eggs were all alike, so she asked "do you want a lift home? Otherwise, it's quite a hike."
So the bunny climbed up on her back, and off they flew! Away from the nasty people who wanted the bunny in a stew.
The coco bird took her home and tucked her up in bed, then said "I have to go, I must look after my eggs."
So the bunny waved goodbye as the bird flew away. "Happy Easter, Coco Bird. It's a very special day."
