Andy bought the candy Easter eggs, but he did not have enough money in his pocket to buy the Hot Cross Buns. Helen took some of her money and bought a dozen.
On Saturday night, after the small children had gone to bed, Andy andHelen hid candy and chocolate Easter eggs all over the house. Some were big, some were very small, and some were not eggs at all, but in the shape of chickens or rabbits. They were hidden in cupboards, behind boxes and under clothes. On Sunday morning, the children began to hunt for the Easter eggs and candy, they thought the Easter Bunny had left so many they could not find them all. Of course, they could not eat them all. Later, Mom called Andy and Helen to help with the dinner. She asked Andy to clean the carrots and potatoes.
Helen said she would prepare roast lamb and apple pie.
Finally, when they sat down to have dinner they were all thankful for the delicious food, and that spring was coming soon.Homework Collect the information about Chinese festivals for the dead and make a report.课件41张PPT。Speaking Leading inChinese festivals Celebrate the coming of spring.
