The boys disguised as Mopsy and Flopsy!!
There once was two carrot loving schnauzers named Nick & Rudy. One fine spring they decided they would start a carrot garden so they could enjoy carrots anytime they wanted. The bearded guys worked so hard tending to their garden. Every day they would get up at the crack of dawn watering their garden, pulling weeds."My, what fine carrots we'll have" said Nick licking his mustache. "Hummmm, I can't wait" Rudy replied. Both boys were proud of the garden they so tenderly nurtured.
One day the boys got up and saw some of the carrots had been ripped from the ground by their roots and some very strange foot prints lead down a path to the woods. "Looks like we have a carrot stealer, we'd better start standing guard", Nick said to Rudy. So the bearded guys took turns guarding the garden 24 hours a day.
Finally after several sleepless nights for the boys, a spunky little rabbit comes hopping into their garden. "Hey you thief what you are doing steal our carrots" Nick angerly inquired. The bunny looked up and asked, "Don't ya know me? Well I'm Peter Cottontail, and I have to eat all the carrots I can before Easter. I need to get my strength up so I can deliver my eggs and Jelly beans to all the children on Easter morn. You know you boys have done a fine job on your garden, no one else has carrots this early in the season." At first Nick was quite annoyed at Peter, then he thought "Wonder if we can make a deal with this bunny, as I like eggs better than carrots anyway". So Nick said to Peter "Yo Peter, what if we let you eat all the carrots you want and helped you with your rounds Easter morning, could we get free eggs delivered every day?". "Sure, I can always use help" replied Peter "And I have an endless supply of eggs from Farm Jones' henhouse. They're even colors, say do ya like green eggs?" Rudy jumped in "I've read about green eggs and ham now that sounds like a real treat!"
After that Peter Cottontail visited the garden every morning for his breakfast and dropped off two eggs. Nick & Rudy continued to tend to the garden planting new carrots. After their morning chores Rudy would fix nice cheese omlets for themselves. He had always fancied himself as a chef but never did get to go to cooking school, many had rejected him because he refused to put his beard in a pony tail. But for years he had watched Julia Childs show faithly each week so he concerned himself quite the gormet chef.
When Easter Saturday arrived, Peter, and the boys planned out what bunny trails to take so they could split up the workload. Peter insisted Nick & Rudy wear bunny hats to disguise themselves and if anyone were to ask their names were to reply "Mopsy" and "Flopsy". "I'm not putting on that silly hat and I'm not going to be called Mopsy", said Rudy. "Uh come on, think of all those eggs!! I'll be Mopsy if you like being Flopsy better" replied Nick. Well Nick & Rudy ended up having a ball.... especially Nick as he used the old routine "One egg for Susie and two for Mr. Nick, one egg for Tommy and two for Mr. Nick". But even that was ok, there were plenty of eggs for everyone. Rudy had an adventure when a little boy named John had spotted him. "Come quick look mama the easter bunny has funny ears, a big snout and a beard!!" cried John. "Are you laugh at my ears kid, go back to bed or no Jelly Beans for ya!!" Rudy told John rather authoritively. (He's always so sensitive about his ears and he completely forgot he was wearing a silly bunny ear hat!)
All in all it was a good day... Peter, Nick & Rudy came back from their adventure and they shared a nice big omlet with cheese and carrots in it. After that the three of them were very good friends, every Tuesday night was poker night with eggs and carrots used for the stakes. And of course every story has a morale, and this one is with team work everything is fun!! (Oh we won't talk about cholesterol intake here that's in chapter two).
