She went on painting the eggs, dashing and splashing the colors upon them. The Runaway Bunny planned where he would hide the Easter eggs in every wee house he visited.
He thought he would put them back of books and in vases and back of clocks and in cups and bowls and baskets. There are so many good places to hide wee Easter eggs.
By and by the two Bunnies curled up on the rug and fell asleep.
Very early next day the Runaway Bunny woke up.
He said:
“May I start with the Easter eggs today?
Please let me go, Mother Give-Away.”
To his surprise Old Mother Give-Away answered, as though she were half asleep:
“Speak to the Rubbers on the floor;
They’ve heard that question asked before.”
