The White Easter Rabbit

Once there was a white bunny who wanted to be an Easter rabbit. “How can I be an Easter rabbit?” he said. “I do not know how. Oh dear! What shall I do? I wish some one would tell me how to be an Easter rabbit.” And he started to cry.

Soon a little gray mouse came by, saying, “Squeak, squeak, squeak.” White Bunny called to the mouse, “An Easter rabbit I want to be. Oh please, Gray Mouse, will you help me?” But the mouse ran along, saying, “I am busy going ‘Squeak, squeak.’ I have no time to help you today.”

After the mouse had gone, a bee flew by, saying, “Buzz, buzz, buzz!” The white bunny called to him, “An Easter rabbit I want to be, Please, oh, please, will you help me?” But the little bee flew off, and the bunny heard him say, “I have so many things to do. I have no time to stop for you.” “Oh, dear!” said Little Bunny, and he started to cry again.

Then Bunny heard a strange noise. A bird was saying, “Tweet, tweet.” “That is Mother Bird,” he thought. “She always sits on her nest. She is not very busy. Maybe she will have time to help me.” So he went up to mother Bird, saying, “An Easter rabbit I want to be, Please, oh, please, will you help me?” Mother Bird said, “Yes, Bunny, I will help you if you will not cry.”

White bunny said, “I will not cry any more. Please tell me how to be an Easter rabbit.” “All right,” said Mother Bird. “If you want to be an Easter rabbit, you must do just what I tell you. First, you must find an oak tree and dance around it three times. After that, you must sit up and make your nose go sniff, sniff, sniff. Then you must put one ear up and the other ear down. Next, you must shut your eyes and sing this song, One, two, three! One, two, three! Easter Fairy, come to me! Then you will see something.”

Little Rabbit tried to do his best. First he found an oak tree and began to dance around it. Then he sat up, and his nose went sniff, sniff, sniff. Up went one ear, and down went the other ear. Then he shut his eyes and sang, “One, two, three! One, two, three! Easter Fairy, come to me!”
