The Egg Hunt

Fuzzy Wuzzy Bunny stretched her arms and yawned. Today she was going to be very very busy. It was Easter Sunday and Fuzzy had two baskets full of Easter eggs to hide in the garden.
She did this every year and the Beezles and their friends had so much fun finding the eggs that Fuzzy had hidden. No-one knew that it was Fuzzy who had hidden the eggs. Everyone on Honeycombe Hill believed that some magical thing had happened and that the eggs had appeared by themselves!

Mrs Bee would chuckle each year as she watched her little friends hunting high and low for an egg, and then squealing with delight when they found one.
Only Mrs Bee was in on the secret that Fuzzy was the one hiding the eggs.
Fuzzy was afterall the bunny in the garden. That's why her name was Fuzzy Wuzzy Bunny! Fluffy and pink and ever so cute, Fuzzy was everyone's favourite.

Fuzzy tied a new ribbon in her hair and carried the baskets of eggs to the edge of the garden. Everyone was still asleep. This would make her job quite easy thank goodness!
Fuzzy went about her business, hiding the eggs under bushes, behind hives, and anywhere else that she thought would be a good hiding place.

Soon, the baskets were empty and Fuzzy smiled and hugged herself at a job so well done. She knew her friends would be coming out to play soon so she hurried away so as not to be seen and decided to come back later.

Zubby was first to come out of his house.
"Oooh! Easter Sunday. Egg hunting time again!"
Bazzil came out of his house to see what Zubby was shouting about and soon, all of the Beezles were gathered in the garden.
"I'm excited!" squealed Bizzy.
"Not as excited as me!!" replied Zubby.

They split up and went their separate ways, hunting for eggs.
Buzzy was the first to find one.
"Yipee!" he called as he flew back to Mrs Bee's shop.
One by one the Beezles found an egg and pretty soon everyone had a nice chocolate Easter egg.
"I'm opening mine right now" said Zubby.
"Me too" replied Buzzy, then Bazzil, then Bizzy.

"I like when the easter bunny calls, but what does the Easter Bunny get? An egg?!" asked Buzzy.

"Well now" said Mrs Bee. "I think it would be a lovely surprise for the Easter Bunny if we all put a small gift in a basket and left it at the edge of the garden for the bunny to collect."
Everyone agreed and hurried home to find something to put in the basket for the Easter Bunny.

Bizzy brought some pink ribbons and a beautiful lace collar for the bunny to wear.
Bazzil drew a picture of a bunny with flowers and kisses.
Zubby brought a little jar of honey and Buzzy had brought some cookies.
They all placed their gifts in the basket and left it at the edge of the garden.
"I don't think the Easter Bunny will come by until it's dark" said Mrs Bee. "Easter Bunny is probably still out delivering eggs to all the other gardens"

Fuzzy was exhausted. She'd been to every garden in the area and had left eggs for all of the children who lived near Honeycombe Hill.
When Fuzzy arrived home, she had a tall glass of lemonade and a carrot and then she lay down in the warm sunshine for a nap.
It was very late when Fuzzy awoke, and she strolled down to the edge of the garden as it was such a lovely evening.
To Fuzzy's surprise there was a little basket with a tag on saying "Easter Bunny".

Fuzzy lifted the basket and peeked inside.
"Ooh! I wonder who has left me this? Ribbons and cookies and honey and a little picture!, how sweet!"

Fuzzy was delighted with her gifts and went home to put everything away.

Everyone had had such a lovely day and couldn't wait till next Easter for the Egg hunt game!
