Tom’s Easter Basket

One of Tom’s favourite things about Easter is the Easter morning egg hunt. Every
year Tom and his friends play ‘egg hunt’ during the Easter. Tom is sad because last
year his old Easter basket was broken. This basket was special for him, because his
mum made it for him as a present. He wanted to pick up many eggs. Suddenly he
found hidden eggs and he ran to take them to be the first one until no one saw them.
However, he bummed his basket and broke it, so his mother wanted to do something
to support him up. She went home after the egg hunt and started to repair his basket.
She took a piece of silk fabric to repair the basket. She covered the bowl with silk
fabric and tied a bow on the front. Then she made the handle from a branch. Next day
he woke up and found a new basket near his bed. It was a brilliant day for him!
