Why Easter Bunnies are Chocolate (c)

By my son Paul L'Heureux (c) 2020
My son enjoys writing short vignettes to entertain the linemen and women who work for Central Maine Power, in Portland, Maine. 
 He attaches these stories to the menus he creates for the Electrode Cafe. This "Let's Write" blog is posted with his Easter Fable, a story that his mother has titled "Why Easter Bunnies are Chocolate"

Nice job, Paul!

Hippitty Hop Hop went Barnaby the unremarkable Cocoa Colored Rabbit, “Why does Peter get all the praise?”, he pondered on his way, Just then a young child Shouted “Look Mummy, it’s the Easter Bunny!!” “Oh that’s Peter Rabbit” said the Mum to which old Barnaby shook his head, but in doing so he realized “Human’s can’t tell who I am… They thinks I’m Peter” he thought wickedly as he scurried on his way. “I’ll Show him” Barnaby’s thoughts raced as he pondered ways to soil the good reputation of Peter, laughing as he hopped along. Once on the outskirts of the village Barnaby began to put his sinister plan into motion, he would collect rotten eggs and old mushrooms to leave for the children and put all the blame on Peter. Barnaby’s desire to weave a web of despicable nasty deception was well on it’s way to bolster his Evil plan and upend Easter, like a cute and fuzzy little Grinch, Barnaby rejoiced in his plot as he finished his preparations and set off to deliver his mischief under the cover of darkness. After waiting till late dusk Barnaby began his journey into town laughing all the way until…SWOOOOP!!! In silent stealthieness a Large Owl swooped in and snatched old Barnaby up just before he made it into town and that was it for old Barnaby. Only moments later along came Peter with his Easter Baskets and set up the most beautiful Easter celebration the town had ever seen never knowing of Barnaby or his plan. Upon returning to Easter Bunny Head Quarters Peter was met by Oswald the Owl who told Peter about Barnaby and his evil plan. “Oh My, where is he now??” Peter asked “Oh he won’t be bothering you anymore” Oswald said while licking his lips, to which they both got a good laugh, and to mark that occasion from that day forward it became tradition give Chocolate (Cocoa colored) bunnies at Easter to commemorate the time Oswald the Owl saved Easter from old Barnaby the Bunny. So this year when you get that chocolate bunny at Easter remember it doesn’t matter if you start at his ears or his feet, you are in essence saving Easter.. Heyyyyyyyy Why not…lol Also a big heart felt thank you to all those who supported the Stork last week if you didn’t get a chance there is still time, come on down and say Brawwwwwk ☺ Oh yeah, Recycle your Plastic, be well, and don’t forget to smile, life is 10% what the world gives to ya and 90% how you react to it ♥ Boom Happy Easter ♥♪♫♪♫☺
