An Intriguing Easter Story For Kids - Molly’s Easter Hen
Once
upon a time, there lived a little girl named Molly. She was a sweet and
charming girl, everyone loved her so dearly. Molly’s mother owned a chicken
house and Molly liked working there.
When
Molly turned ten years old, her Auntie Brook gifted her with a hen. It was one
of the best gifts she had received on that day and so she cherished it. Molly
named her hen Red Top because the hen had a red coloring.
One
day during the Easter holidays, Molly had gone to the chicken to get an egg for
her Auntie Brook who lived just a few blocks from her house. She had wanted to
give a special egg from Red Top, but unfortunately Red Top had laid no eggs.
She was sad and went to meet her mother.
“Why
are you sad, my dear?” asked her mother.
“I
had wanted to send some eggs to Auntie Brook for the easter, but Red Top had
laid no eggs,” she said.
“There
are other hens in the chicken house why didn’t you get some eggs from them?”
her mother asked her.
“No,”
she said, it wouldn’t be half as nice as Red Top’s, moreover this is the first
Easter since Auntie Brook gifted me Red Top and I promised to give her some
eggs from Red Top for the Easter.
“I
am sure your Auntie will understand if you take another egg to her. You
shouldn’t count on eggs before they are laid. You can color it pink, and I will
let you have some gilding so that you can put her name on it. It is going to be
an amazing Easter,” her mother said to her.
Molly
managed to smile and went into her room. She couldn’t stop thinking of getting
an egg from Red Top for Auntie Brook. She kept checking on Red Top to see the
expected egg had appeared. The day was very busy for her, she colored a lot of
eggs but refused to gild her Auntie’s name on any.
“Mother,
she said. “I think I have a plan. I think I will have an Easter egg for my
Auntie after all.”
Early
the next morning being Easter before anyone else was awake, molly ran to the
chicken house to check on Red Top. She returned on time for breakfast.
Immediately after breakfast, she slipped away carrying a covered basket and
moving very fast. First, she went through the green lane that led from the
house to the road, and then along the road until she arrived at Auntie Brook’s
house. The place was neatly arranged and the flowers well-trimmed. The birds
sang a sweet easter melody as she approached the gate.
She
went through the gate and soon was on the gravel path leading to a door. An old
lady with a beautiful face sat out at the doorstep. Molly approached her still
walking fast.
“Auntie
Brook,” she called almost out of breath, “I have brought you an Easter egg,
although it has not been laid yet. You can hold on to Red Top until it lays an
egg for you, then you can return it. I am sorry I couldn’t paint it pink and
gild your name on it because Red Top didn’t lay the egg on time, but I don’t
mind doing it if you call on me when Red Top Lays the egg.
“Oh,
my sweet little Molly, thank you very much. I am sure I shall like it more than
the painted eggs with gold letters,” Said Auntie Molly beaming with smiles.
Good
gestures most times are the best we can offer. Molly didn’t back down from her
plans to gift her Auntie an Easter egg, she came up with an even better idea.
