Marky’s Golden Egg

Marky’s Easter Egg Hunt

Marky is excited for the Easter Egg Hunt.

His mom hid many eggs, but only one golden egg. Marky dreams of finding it.

Marky searches high and low as all the kids rush to find the hidden eggs.

Suddenly, a very happy little girl named Lucy swings her arm and holds up the brightest golden egg any child has ever seen.

Marky's dream of finding the golden egg is shattered, and tears fill his eyes.

He does not understand why, but finding that egg means everything to him.

Seeing Marky upset, his mom gently holds him. "I am sorry, Marky. I did not mean for the game to make you feel this way," she whispers.

Wrapped in his mother's love, Marky's tears start to dry, and his eyes begin to peek at the eggs he found, each one with its special designs and colors.
