WEBVTT - The First Easter Egg 

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello friends, and welcome to bedtime stories with mister jim O.

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I was just getting ready for bed, are you as well?

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh good? I hope you brushed your teeth and found

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>all of your comfy things like pillows and blankets and stuffies.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, oh good. Well, as long as you have

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.040
<v Speaker 1>all those things ready, then it's time for our story.

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But first we must close our eyes so that we

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>can travel to an imaginary world. On the first day

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:04.320
<v Speaker 1>of Spring of Fluffy little cottontail bunny was born. Her

0:01:04.360 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>mom named her Quinn since she arrived on the spring equinox.

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Quinn was a happy little bunny and enjoy doing the

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>same things that most bunnies did. She liked to hop

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>around eating grass and berries with her mama and Papa

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Bunny and all of her bunny siblings. She spent her

0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>days bouncing through fields and playing by the streams. At night,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Quinn and her family would return to their burrow together,

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>but when other bunnies would be snuggling up for sleep,

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Quinn's family was still awake and very busy. Each spring night,

0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>before they went to sleep, the bunny family had to

0:01:55.840 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>paint Easter eggs. They would pile them in their burrow

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and grabbed their paint brushes. Quinn loved to paint the

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>eggs in fun patterns, rainbows, polka dots, stripes. Sometimes she

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>would even paint little self portraits of her fuzzy brown face.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 1>It was all hard work, but Quinn and her family

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:31.160
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed it. They took their responsibilities as Easter bunnies very seriously.

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>She painted eggs right up until she fell asleep. Mama

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Bunny took the pink brush from Quinn's fuzzy paw, and

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>soon the rest of the family joined her, and everyone

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>snuggled up for bed. The next morning, Quinn was hopping

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:01.519
<v Speaker 1>through the forest when she came across the most beautiful

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>flower patch she had ever seen. She collected flowers in

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>shades of strawberry red and sunshine yellow, bringing them back

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:19.239
<v Speaker 1>to her burrow and to admire some more. That night,

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>while they were painting, Quinn's little brother Knox, accidentally spilled

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>paint on himself, coating his white paws in rainbows. While

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>mother helped clean him up, Quinn hopped over to a

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>pile of unfinished eggs to stretch her bunny legs. She

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>admired the different colors from all their hard work. Quinn

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:51.440
<v Speaker 1>reached a fuzzy paw out for a pretty polka dot

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>dotted egg. As she plucked it from its spot, the

0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>pile began to wobble. Oh, whispered Quinn. A purple painted

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 1>egg rolled itself down the pile, clinking as it went

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>when it hit the ground. The egg continued fast towards

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 1>the table with her red and yellow flowers. Clunk. It

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>came to a loud stop as it hit the table leg.

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Then the egg split in half. Oh no, Quinn whispered.

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>As she scrambled to pick it up. A flower petal

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>floated down on top of it. Without thinking much about it,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>she plucked the rest of the flower and stuck it

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:48.679
<v Speaker 1>inside the egg. Then she pushed the two halves together

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and hoped they would stay with a little Easter bunny magic.

0:04:54.839 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>They did. Quhen, what was that noise? Mother bunny asked, No, nothing,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, called back Quinn. She quickly added the egg

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>back to the pile and hopped back to paint more

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:16.719
<v Speaker 1>with her family. The rest of the night. Quinn thought

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:21.600
<v Speaker 1>about the flower inside the egg. What a neat surprise

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:26.080
<v Speaker 1>for whoever finds that Easter egg During the hunt. She thought,

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>how exciting would it be if all the eggs had

0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>a surprise inside. Quinn decided that night to return to

0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the pile of painted eggs once everyone was sleeping. She

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:44.960
<v Speaker 1>tiptoed her way toward the pile and plucked the first

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>egg out of it. It rumbled and an egg turned down.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:55.840
<v Speaker 1>She pulled another, and two more tumbled after it. As

0:05:55.839 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>she pulled more, even more painted eggs rolled away, racing

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 1>toward the wall and cracking perfectly in half. Quinn collected

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>the rest of her flowers and placed either a red

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>or yellow one gently into one half of the egg,

0:06:14.680 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>then sealed them with Easter bunny magic. When she ran

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>out of flowers, she began adding whatever she found around

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the house. Eggs were filled with berries, nuts, tiny wooden toys,

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:36.839
<v Speaker 1>and more. Quinn looked upon the newly piled eggs proudly,

0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.120
<v Speaker 1>excited for the surprises inside to be revealed. After weeks

0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of painting eggs and Quinn secretly filling them, it was time.

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 1>The Easter bunny family gathered their baskets and filled them

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to the brim with eggs. Then they hopped out of

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>their burrow, spread out all around the forest and fields

0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>to hide them, Quinn placed her eggs underneath bushes, in

0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>flower patches, nestled between rocks by the stream. When all

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of the eggs had been hidden, the Easter Bunny family

0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>hopped home with their empty baskets for some much needed rest.

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>As Quinn cuddled in her burrow with her Mamma Bunny,

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>Papa Bunny, and brothers and sisters, she smiled as she

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>dreamed of the egg hunt and all the happy animals

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>of the forest. She hoped the animals enjoyed their surprises

0:07:39.440 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>when they opened their eggs. As Quinn dozed, Mama Bunny

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>padded Quinn's ears. She knew all along what her daughter

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>had been doing, and she was happy for her for

0:07:53.640 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>discovering a way to make their Eastern traditions even more special. Well,

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>my friends, as we all close our eyes and get

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>all comfy, may you have very happy dreams. Good night,
