Story: "The Easter Bunny Who Got Stuck in the Fence"

Early one Easter morning, Flopsy the Bunny was hopping happily through the garden. His basket was full of colorful eggs, and he was in a big hurry to deliver them all before the Easter party started.

He bounced over flower beds, skipped through clover patches, and zig-zagged around sleepy ducks.

“I’m the fastest Easter Bunny in town!” he cheered.

But then… he saw a shortcut.

“I’ll zip through this fence!” Flopsy said, wiggling through a wooden slat in the garden gate.

BIG mistake.

His head went through…
His ears went through…
Even his feet made it through…

But not his tail.

His big, fluffy, marshmallowy tail got STUCK.

“Uh-oh,” Flopsy whispered.
Then louder:
“HELP! My tail’s too puffy!”

One by one, his friends came to the rescue:

• Penny the Puppy tried pulling his ears. “Nope, still stuck!”

• Tilly the Turtle pushed from behind. “Nothing budged!”

• Clucky the Chicken offered to peck the fence (but Flopsy said NO THANKS).

• Even a squirrel tried bouncing on the top rail, but that just made Flopsy sneeze.

“ACHOO! The fence wiggled, but not ME!”

Finally, little MooMoo the Mouse came up with a plan.

“I’ll tickle your tail until it POPS right out!”

“Worth a try,” said Flopsy, holding still.

MooMoo wiggled a feather across the fluffy tail.

“Teehee! HEEHEE! STOP!” Flopsy giggled—until…

POP!
Out came his tail!

He flew forward, spun three times, and landed right in his Easter basket!

The animals all cheered.

Flopsy stood up, dizzy but smiling.

“I think I’ll skip shortcuts next year,” he said.

Then he handed everyone an egg from his basket—and gave MooMoo the first one.

“Teamwork saved my tail!”

The End.

🎵 Song: “Flopsy’s Fluffy Tail”

Flopsy had a fluffy tail,
Fluffy tail, fluffy tail.
Flopsy had a fluffy tail—
It puffed up like a sail!

He tried to wiggle, tug, and slide,
Push and twist from side to side,
But stuck he stayed—he gave a shout,
“I need some help to get me out!”

A tiny mouse came skipping through,
With a feather soft and new.
She gave a tickle, light and quick,
And POP!—his tail was free real quick!
