Mother Cottontail nodded her head to the little ones and they all formed a line and bowed low to the Grandfather. Then she stepped in front of them, and she said, "They will take better care of the house than I."

Then she called them up two by two, and as she put her hands on the heads of each pair she said, "These are my sweepers. They keep the cottage clean as your hand. These make the beds without a wrinkle. These cook my dinner. These wash the dishes. These tend the garden. These wash and dry all the clothes. These do the mending. These sing, and these dance to keep us merry while we work. These are learning to paint pretty pictures for our walls. And this littlest one of all always pulls my chair for me when I sit to table. So you see I can leave them to take care of the house until I come home."

Then the old, kind, wise Grandfather said, "You have proved yourself to be not only wise, and kind, and swift, but also very clever. Come to the Palace tomorrow afternoon, for that is Easter Eve, and you shall be my fifth Easter Bunny."
