Sophie and the Easter Bunny’s Secret

Sophie woke up early on Easter morning, her brown hair tumbling over her shoulders. Sunlight streamed through her window, promising a beautiful spring day. She hurried downstairs in her pajamas, eager to find her Easter basket. But instead of eggs, Sophie found tiny bunny footprints leading to the garden door.

Sophie tiptoed outside, following the mysterious prints across the dewy grass. Behind a flowering bush sat a fluffy white bunny with the kindest eyes she had ever seen. "Hello, Sophie," the bunny said softly, his nose twitching. "I'm Benny, the Easter Bunny, and I've been waiting to meet you."

"Would you like to know the real magic of Easter?" Benny asked, hopping beside Sophie through the garden. They walked past blooming flowers and chirping birds celebrating the season. "Easter isn't just about eggs and candy," Benny explained gently. "It's about Jesus showing us the greatest love of all."

Benny showed Sophie how spring flowers pushing through the soil were like Jesus rising again. "Easter means hope and new beginnings," Benny said, placing a special lily in Sophie's hand. Sophie's heart felt warm as she understood that Easter celebrated love stronger than anything. "Thank you, Benny," Sophie whispered, knowing she would remember this Easter forever.
