Once upon a time in a small world, there were three houses made out of candy. The first house was made out of cotton candy, the second house was made of Twizzlers and the last house was made out of dark chocolate. In each of the houses there lived an Easter bunny. A very hungry wolf came walking by the first house made out of cotton candy and groaned, "I'm so hungry. I can't believe I couldn't catch those three little pigs." Then the wolf noticed a sign that read, Easter bunny residence. Home of the Cadbury eggs! The wolf shouted to the bunny in the house,"Give me some Cadbury eggs or I'll blow your house down." The bunny replied,"No way, not to you." Then the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down. The bunny ran quickly to the house made out of Twizzlers and hid there with the second bunny. Then the wolf came to that house and said,"Give me some cadbury eggs or I'll blow your house down." But the two bunnies said,"No way not to you." So the wolf blew the house down. The two bunnies ran to the dark chocolate house and hid there with the third bunny. Again,the wolf came to that house and said,"Give me some Cadbury eggs or I'll blow your house down." So the three bunnies thought for a while and said,"Ok, but you have to come in and get it." So the wolf said,"Ok," and rushed in. When the wolf came into the house,the bunnies sneaked out of the window, took out their humongous magnifying glass and melted down the dark chocolate house. The wolf shrieked,"Noooo, my cadbury eggs are melting!" Then, suddenly, there was a really cold breeze that froze the chocolate surrounding the wolf. The wolf was petrified. The bunnies cheered,"Yay!" and lived happily ever after with their Cadbury eggs.
