It’s a special, happy time for kids, just 51 Christmas. There are cute rabbits 52 . This is because for many centuries rabbits have been symbols of life. Rabbits have lots of babies and so they seem right for Easter. There’s even an “Easter Bunny (复活节兔子)”, an Easter version of Santa Claus.
Eggs are 53 too. An egg can be the start of new life. At Easter, kids wake up to find their moms and dads have given them chocolate eggs with candy inside. They also have fun 54 eggs.
