Pinky, the bunny, loved Easter. Every year he painted eggs for all the animals in the meadow. He got out his cans of paint and sat down among the flowers. One by one he painted the eggs. He put them down on the grass to dry. Once he had a few, he called all the animals in the meadow. “Come here, animals. I'm the Easter bunny and I've brought you some eggs.”

One by one the animals came to visit. Mr. and Mrs. Bluebird brought their baby, Indigo. Pinky gave the baby bird a red egg. “Thank you, Pinky. Happy Easter.” Indigo nibbled his chocolate egg.

Rocky, the raccoon came to visit with his mom and dad. Pinky gave him a blue egg. Rocky nibbled on it and said, “Thank you, Pinky.”

Mona mouse came to visit. She didn't want to eat her egg right then, she wanted to save it to eat at night, so she carried it home. “Thank you, Pinky.”

Pinky painted eggs all day long and gave them all away. When he got tired, he gathered all his paints and paintbrushes and was about to leave when he heard, “Happy Easter, Pinky.” He turned around and saw all the animals of the meadow. Each of them helped carry a huge foil-wrapped chocolate egg for him. “You do nice things for us, so we did something nice for you.”

Pinky wiped the tears away. Nobody ever had done that for him before. This was the happiest Easter he'd every had.
