A Deal with Time
It was just an ordinary Tuesday in the late 1800s, one of those days that didn’t seem special at all. The year was 1887, and the small town of Willow Creek, nestled in the Midwest, was quiet and peaceful. The air was cool, with the smell of woodsmoke from chimneys and the earthy scent of fallen leaves. The streets were mostly empty, except for the occasional sound of horse hooves and creaking wagon wheels.

An Easter Bunny Tale
One morning while looking out at my garden I was amazed at watching what this one bunny was doing. It was a bright sunny early morning for the sun was just starting to rise and the sky was so vividly blue and the air was cool this early Easter morning. It seemed to be gathering something from the yards in mine and the neighbors as well. For some reason I went out and sat down on the porch and continued to watch him. He not really sure if it was a male bunny, as he continued collecting whatever he must have noticed me for he looked my way. He started hopping towards and when he got halfway in my direction, he showed me what he was doing. He had collected a few eggs that seemed to have an odd scent. This bunny has the most peculiar face when handling these eggs and he whispered these eggs are rotten and cannot give. There will be more fresh ones in a few minutes. I sort of just sat there kind of amazed for I thought the Easter bunny was made up for the little children to have something to look forward as we do at Christmas with Santa Claus. Never knew I would meet the Easter Bunny. He is almost like Santa for in a flash he was back and had fresh decorated eggs in his basket and no funny smell. He hopped to the other houses and replaced those eggs as well. The bunny came back my way and looked at me and twitched his little black nose and as he hopped down the street I thought I heard him say "Happy Easter to All and to All a Good Day."

They place a framework around our experiences so that we can perceive events as a logical story. If we hear a story, our brain will immediately begin looking for patterns, causes, and effects in the story.
