In the first egg, Doris found a flower. “Oh yes, a flower is certainly a _________ of new life,” she said. The next empty egg shell contained a plastic butterfly, which looked very real. Doris held it up. “We all know that a caterpillar changes and grows into a beautiful butterfly. Yes, that’s new life, too.”

When she could speak again, Doris asked him, “Do you know why the tomb was empty?”
“Oh, yes,” Jeremy said, “Jesus was killed and put in there. Then His Father raised Him up.” “And that’s how Easter _________!”

Once upon a time, there was a man named Anansi. He knew that he was very clever but he also knew he wasn't wise. He didn't like this, but he did not know what to do. One day he had an idea. He went around the village with a basket and asked each person to give him some of their wisdom（智慧）. The people laughed at Anansi because they knew that he needed wisdom the most.

"I walked all over the village and collected so much wisdom that I am the wisest person ever, but my baby son is still wiser than me. Take back your wisdom!" he said.
