Who Murdered the Easter Bunny

Sam, the box turtle, sauntered down deserted gravel road; when he bumped into Elli, a gorgeous, slender, green toad. Together they stopped to admire the rustic scenery; noting, Bunny would like hiding eggs in all that greenery. Easter will be in a few weeks, kids will have fun hunting eggs; Bunny would be quite busy hopping on two spindly legs. Sadie, a monarch butterfly fluttered into their path; she was perched on a tree branch taking her daily sun bath. “Hi!” she said to Sam and Sadie. “Have you heard hottest news? The Easter Bunny was murdered, on the headline reviews.” Sam and Sadie were speechless, much too shocked to say the least; who murdered the Easter Bunny, who was the wicked beast? No one could think of anyone who wanted Bunny killed, the whole town was suspected, everyone thoroughly grilled. It couldn’t be Sam or Sadie; they were not at the scene; whoever it was, they were desperate, extremely mean. Small town sheriff investigated the deadly crime site; there lay Bunny sprawled along the roadside, eggs colored bright. Struck down by angry mother hawk, thought he robbed her love nest; sheriff pulled out the handcuffs, placed mother under arrest. Copyright © 2013 By Caryl S. Muzzey
