I wrinkled my eyebrows real curious.

“Hmm. What does purple feel like, I wonder?” I said to just myself.

The daddy said please hurry up.

I swished my fingers through the jar some more.

Then, all of a sudden, I felt it, I tell you!

I felt purple!

It felt roundish … and beanish … and purplish!

I grabbed it real tight.

Then I quick pulled my hand out of the jar.

And I opened up my fingers.

AND GUESS WHAT?

GUESS WHAT?

GUESS WHAT?

IT WAS PURPLE!

THAT'S WHAT!

I jumped up and down and all around.

“Purple! Purple! I got purple!” I shouted. “I'm getting the thrill of a lifetime! I'm getting the thrill of a lifetime!”

I skipped over to May. And I smiled real big in her face.

Then I skipped to the middle of the tables. And I did a giant bow.

Giant bows are very enjoyable. Even when no one is actually clapping for you.

After I stopped bowing, Lucille's daddy handed me the beautiful box.

I pulled off the paper as fast as I could.

Then I lifted off its lid.

And I stared inside.

“Hmm,” I said very puzzled. “It's, um … a box of pink fur.”

I scratched my head.

“I've always wanted a box of pink fur … possibly,” I said.

Lucille laughed real loud.

“Silly Junie B. Jones! It's not just a box of pink fur! Take it out so you can see what it really is!” she said.

Then—just as I was about to pick it up—Lucille grabbed the pink fur.

And she held it up in front of me.

And that is the last actual fun I had at the party.

“A bunny suit! See? It's a bunny suit,” shouted Lucille. “Junie B. is going to be our party's very own Easter Bunny!”

May laughed real loud.

“SHE'S GOING TO BE OUR DUMB BUNNY, YOU MEAN!” she called out. “JUNIE JONES IS GOING TO BE OUR VERY OWN DUMB BUNNY!”

Just then, the rest of the children began to laugh, too.

Lucille stamped her mad foot at them.

“Stop it!” she said. “Junie B. is not going to be our dumb bunny! She's going to be our Easter Bunny! This is the finest bunny costume money can buy.”

She held it out to me.

“Here, Junie B. Put it on and show everyone how cute it is!”

She handed me the costume.
