The Story of Jemina Easter Egg

In the window of a high class con- J fectionery shop stood the Easter Egg family. By Jemima stood her lover. Prince Andrew Goldheart Easter Egg. j by name, tall and resplendent in a j silver suit spotted in red and gold, with j a purple waistband. | Jemima had on a silver frock. 1 i decorated in white and blue spots with | j a pink sash. Her full name was Prin- 1 cess Jemima Silverlips Easter Egg. Toj gether they watched the traffic go by. : Many a boy and girl pressed curious noses to the window. One by one the 1 rest of the Easter Egg family were 1 bought. j One day a beautiful lady dressed in ! a great fur coat came in and asked for J two Easter eggs. Jemima and Andrew j were brought forth, and the lady said j she would have them. They were j bundled into a bag and darkness. For I i many days they did not see daylight. | ! but one morning they felt the bag be!mg moved, and the next minute: , “Oh Mother!” cried the twins. Jane j and John. "What beautiful Easter i egg's!” i “Oh. what is happening?" whispered ! Jemima. In .a few seconds there were I two "cracks”!!! —Jemima and Andrew I had gone to the place where all good 1 Easter eggs go. * Written by Janie O’Brien (12), I Murchison.
