On his way home, Jimmy looked into Pets ‘R Us and bought a rabbit which he gauged was just like the deceased. Back home, Jimmy took the ‘new’ rabbit and placed it in the open hutch in his neighbour’s garden.
Later that evening, Jimmy heard a knock on his front door, and opening it he found his next-door neighbors bearing the ‘new’ rabbit in their arms.
‘Look,’ squeaked his neighbor, ‘Yesterday Billy was dead and we buried him 4 feet down in the garden. Today we come home and find that not only is he alive and well but he has grown several more teeth but also he has shrunk. It’s a miracle.’

Memorable Easter Egg Hunt Story
Emma and Tony thought they would give their toddlers a special Easter egg hunt. Firstly, Emma hit upon the idea of sprinkling talc on the wooden floor, then using the bunny footprints, they created a trail in the talcum powder.
In the lounge, Tony not only placed carrots at strategic points but also gnawed them to look like the rabbits had been there. One neat touch was to leave a spilled saucer of milk in the kitchen.
This Easter bunny scene was so realistic that on Easter Sunday morning their children Ken and Lizzy rushed into our bedroom, screaming: ‘The Easter bunny has been’.
Over the years the story has been relived and embellished, 20 years on I am not sure who is the more embarrassed the parents, or the now grown-up children.

“What?” Eddie asked.
“It’s closing at the end of the week,” Brenda replied.
That can’t be right,” Eddie said. “It’s a national bank!”
“Well it’s true,” Brenda came back. “I have seen the sign in the window.”
“What sign?” Eddie asked.
“Drive passed the bank and you’ll see,” Brenda replied. Eddie headed in the direction of the bank.
“Right there,” Brenda said as they drove by the bank. “See the sign? It says, ‘We Will Be Closed for Good Friday!’ “

Finally, Roger appeared at home on Sunday night, and obviously, he was confronted by his angry wife, Martha who castigated Roger for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions. Finally, Martha stopped the nagging and said to Roger, ‘How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?’
Roger replied grimly, ‘That would be fine with me.’
Monday went by and he didn’t see his Martha. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.
By Thursday, the swelling had gone down just enough so that Roger could see Martha a little out of the corner of his left eye.

One Good Friday a priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them.

‘Oh my word, thank you,’ said the taxi driver.
Next, St. Peter led the priest to a rough old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set.
‘Wait, I think you are a little mixed up,’ said the priest. ‘Shouldn’t I be the one who gets the mansion? After all, I was a priest, went to church every day, and preached God’s word.’
‘Yes, that’s true.’ St Peter rejoined, ‘ But during your sermons, people slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.’

Easter Airport Bunnies Head for Cote d’Azur
Aeroports de Paris, the company that runs the French capital’s airports announced recently that it would remove troublesome bunnies from Orly Airport and gently transfer them to a new life in the sun-kissed south of France.
‘The rabbit is reputed to be a cute and harmless animal but it is also a redoubtable rodent,’ Aeroports de Paris said in a press release outlining its scheme. ‘If the rabbit population grows too much, the animals can gnaw through cables and their tunneling can undermine the edges of runways, taxiways, and landing beacons.’
Game wardens armed with ferrets and nets will fan out across the 850 hectares (2,125 acres) of grass and green spaces at Orly with the goal of capturing 150 rabbits and sending them to a new life in the sun.
Aeroports de Paris said its annual live cull, ‘conducted with scrupulous regard for the environment,’ has kept the airport’s rabbit population at some 2,000 animals, compared with 10,000 in 1999.
Happy Easter to all the bunnies sent to southern France say Will and Guy.
Prayer for Easter
Young Ernie and his family were invited to have Easter lunch at his grandmother’s house in Monkey’s Eyebrow, Arizona, USA. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Ernie received his plate he started eating straight away.

‘I don’t have to,’ the five-year-old replied.
‘Of course you do, Ernest,’ his mother insisted rather forcefully. ‘We always say a prayer before eating at our house.’
‘That’s at our house,’ Ernie explained, ‘but this is Grandma’s house, and she knows how to cook.’
A Poem For Easter – The Easter Bunny
There’s a story quite funny,
About a toy bunny,
And the wonderful
things she can do;
Every bright Easter morning,
Without warning,
She colors eggs, red, green, or blue.
Some she covers with spots,
Some with quaint little dots,
And some with strange mixed colors, too
– Red and green, blue and yellow,
But each unlike his fellow
Are eggs of every hue.
And it’s odd, as folks say,
That on no other day
In all of the whole year through,
Does this wonderful bunny,
So busy and funny,
Color eggs of every hue.
If this story you doubt
She will soon find you out,
And what do you
think she will do?
On the next Easter morning
She’ll bring you without warning,
Those eggs of every hue.

Funny Easter Bunny Story
A man was driving along the highway when saw the Easter rabbit hopping across the middle of the road. He swerved to avoid hitting the rabbit, but unfortunately, the Easter bunny jumped in front of the car and was struck by his car.
The basket of eggs and candy, the rabbit was carrying, went flying all over the place. The driver, being a sensitive man, as well as an animal lover, pulled over to the side of the road, and got out to see what had become of the rabbit carrying the basket. Much to his dismay, the colorful rabbit was dead. The driver felt so awful, that he began to cry. A woman driving down the highway saw the man crying on the side of the road and pulled over. She stepped out of her car and asked the man what was wrong. ‘I feel terrible’, he explained, ‘I accidentally hit the Easter rabbit and killed it. Children will be so disappointed. What should I do?’
The woman told the man not to worry. She knew what to do. She went to her car trunk and pulled out a spray can. She walked over to the dead, limp rabbit, and sprayed the contents of the can onto the furry animal. Miraculously the Easter rabbit came to life, jumped up, picked up the spilled eggs and candy, waved its paw at the two humans, and hopped down the road. 50 meters away the Easter rabbit stopped turned around, waved, and hopped down the road. 50 meters further on, he turned again, waved, and hopped another 50 meters, again he waved.
The man was astonished. He couldn’t figure out what substance could be in the woman’s spray can. He ran over to the woman and asked, ‘What is in your spray can? What did you spray on the Easter rabbit?’
The woman turned the can around so that the man could read the label. It said: ‘Hair spray. Restores life to dead hair. Adds permanent wave.’
Fluffy and Cedric – Bunny Story With a Moral
Fluffy, the orphan bunny, and Cedric the orphan snake lived in the forest; they were, by an amazing coincidence, both blind from birth.
One morning, bright and early Fluffy was hopping through the forest when he tripped over the body of Cedric who was basking in the sunlit undergrowth. Fluffy landed quite hard on the prostrate body of Cedric.
‘Crikey,’ exclaimed Fluffy the bunny, ‘I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to squash you. I’ve been blind since birth, so, I can’t see where I’m going. In fact, since I’m also an orphan, I don’t even know what creature I am.’
‘That’s OK, mate,’ commented Cedric the snake. ‘Actually, my story is much the same as yours. I, too, have been blind since birth and also never knew my mother. Tell you what, maybe I could slither all over you and work out what you are, so at least you’ll be able to find that out.’
‘What a marvelous idea,’ replied Fluffy the bunny.
So Cedric slithered all over Fluffy and said, ‘Well, you’re covered with soft fur, you have really long ears, your nose twitches and you have a soft cottony tail. I’d say that you must be a bunny rabbit.’
‘Oh, thank you, thank you,’ cried Fluffy with tremendous pleasure. Then Fluffy the bunny suggested to the snake, ‘Perhaps I could be allowed to feel you all over with my paw and help you the same way that you’ve helped me.’
So Fluffy the bunny felt Cedric the snake all over and summarised, ‘Well, you’re smooth and slippery, you have a forked tongue and no backbone. I’d say you must be either a team leader or possibly someone in senior management.’
A Fairy Story for Easter
Once upon a time, there was a good old woman who lived in a little house. She had in her garden a bed of beautiful striped tulips.
One night she was awakened by the sounds of sweet singing and of babies laughing. She looked out at the window. The sounds seemed to come from the tulip bed, but she could see nothing.
The next morning she walked among her flowers, but there were no signs of anyone having been there the night before.
On the following night, she was again wakened by sweet singing and babies laughing. She rose and stole softly through her garden. The moon was shining brightly on the tulip bed, and the flowers were swaying to and fro. The old woman looked closely and she saw, standing by each tulip, a little Fairy mother who was crooning and rocking the flower like a cradle, while in each tulip cup lay a little Fairy baby laughing and playing.
The good old woman stole quietly back to her house, and from that time on she never picked a tulip, nor did she allow her neighbors to touch the flowers.
The tulips grew daily brighter in color and larger in size, and they gave out a delicious perfume like that of roses. They began, too, to bloom all the year round. And every night the little Fairy mothers caressed their babies and rocked them to sleep in the flower-cups.
The day came when the good old woman died, and the tulip bed was torn up by folks who did not know about the Fairies, and parsley was planted there instead of the flowers. But the parsley withered, and so did all the other plants in the garden, and from that time nothing would grow there.
But the good old woman’s grave grew beautiful, for the Fairies sang above it, and kept it green; while on the grave and all around it there sprang up tulips, daffodils, violets, and other lovely flowers of spring.

Easter Bunny Has a Near Death Experience
An eagle and rabbit have become the best of friends. Here is an unlikely Easter Bunny story from Zhengzhou City, China. It was feeding time for the eagle so the owner put the Easter bunny in the big bird’s cage. Amazingly, instead of following its predatory nature, the eagle befriended the rabbit. Can you put yourself in the grateful bunnies’ socks? I had a near-death experience, now I am a pampered star.
The owner said, ‘The rabbit very humbly combs the eagle’s feathers with its mouth. The eagle is four months old, and I threw him the rabbit for food, but apparently, he doesn’t know how to enjoy his meals.’
Easter Bunny Apprehended
Statue Arrested in Germany
Will and Guy have noticed that Police have arrested a large Easter Bunny statue in Duisburg, Germany after homeowners reported a ‘stalker’ staring into their window.
The couple contacted authorities after seeing a figure with a “striking” face about 1.8 meters (6ft) tall peering in, to their house. They then described to police that the offender was wearing a yellow shirt, blue check trousers, and a green backpack.
When the police arrived on the scene to apprehend the stalker, they were faced with a 6-foot statue of the Easter Bunny.
One officer told us, ‘We took him into custody but he hasn’t said much yet.’
The police believe the bunny was placed outside the couple’s home as a practical joke, and will keep the bunny detained until his owners come and collect him.
Bunny Becomes Mum to Kittens
Six kittens abandoned by their mum have found an unlikely replacement – a pet rabbit. The tiny kittens were left all alone after their mum decided she couldn’t be bothered feeding them. They were taken in by a veterinary nurse Melanie Humble, who thought her own cat would mother them, but instead, they’re being cared for by her rabbit, ‘Summer’.
Now, they’ve fallen in love with their surrogate mum and refuse to leave her alone. Melanie, 29, from Aberdeen, Scotland said, ‘It’s amazing to see, for some reason they just took to the rabbit instantly and thought she was their mum. They started climbing all over her and were looking to get milk from her. She just sat there and let them do it. Now they follow her everywhere. They can’t bear to be without her. They’re all so lovely together.’
