The Easter Hare is too good, he is a darling, did you ever see such beautiful things as he has given us. I can hardly hold mine!"

"Let's go and fetch them at once," said Luischen.
The children were very happy; it was such a lovely sunny day, and they were so delighted with their treasures. However they did not give up hunting, and soon each of them found an Easter Hare made of the most delicious chocolate. Then Luischen discovered an egg which she called an April-fool's egg; for when she tried to lick it to see what it tasted like, she found that it was made of soap.

Paulchen, you can read a little, do see if you can make out what is written." Paulchen read: "I am the Master Easter Hare Lay eggs, in plenty, everywhere." "Come along, run, we will knock at the door," said Luischen joyfully.
