Rainbow Land

by

The Legend

******************************

Many, say rainbow land has been around since the moon, stars, wind, water, fire and the sun were made, and the rain began to fall. In reality, legend says, what made it so important to humans, a bunny, being chased by Willy the fox, well I am sure you know why, and this bunny, fell into a hole and was caught by Sparkles the mouse. This happened on Easter.

Now please forgive me, as I am getting ahead of our story. So lets back up and start from before the bunny fell from the hole in the ground.
The bunnies name was Easter Bunny Dandy and he was the brother of two sisters, Lynne, Cee, and a Julie Dee Dandy. They enjoyed playing in a meadow, just outside there forest area, not far from the hole in the ground under a tree where there nest was at, where they rested at the end of the day.

“lets go and play hide and seek in the meadow, Lynne and Julie” yelled to Easter Bunny Dandy, as he ran from the house with the girls right behind him, screaming in excitement. Arriving at the meadow, Julie Yelled, “lets play tag, you are it Lynne.” And off they ran chasing each other around the meadow, screaming with joy, when out leaped Willy the fox, and he just missed Lynne Bunny, and hit Easter bunny on the right front shoulder, causing him to fall and breaking his paw, as Willy the fox was turning around to get Easter Bunny dandy, a rock hit him and a yell followed as a little girl and boy came running to help him and Willy the Fox ran off to hide from them in the woods. The girl picked up Easter Bunny Dandy, “he is hurt” said the worried little boy, we best take him home and fix him up, “mean old fox” said the girl in anger, “we can bring him back when his paw is healed” said the boy, so they took him to there home where they took care of him until he was well enough to leave, then they sadly took him back to the meadow and let him go. “do you think he will remember us when he grows up” ask the little boy, “maybe” said the little girl as they walked off, heading home.
Lynne and Julie, were playing in the field and ran into a brush pile on the outer side of the meadow when they saw the boy and girl entering the meadow. “Will they hurt us” asked Lynne, “not if we stay hidden,” said Julie. Then they saw this big bunny hopping toward them, “its Easter bunny” yelled Lynne. They were so happy to see him again, laughing in joy as he excitedly told them about the two wonderful human children who helped him survive, Willy's attack on him and how they took such wonderful care of him. He spoke of wanting to do something good for them, but had no idea what to do, so he put it all in back of his mind and enjoyed the day with his sisters.

Well, my friends, that didn't last long, the very next day as Easter Bunny Dandy was hopping out to the field, on his own, just thinking about all that had happened to him, out jumped Willy the Fox, causing Easter bunny to leap sideways and landing in a hole dropping, dropping, down, down and still more down and falling into a sky of another world, then he saw something sparkling, like lightening, as it streaked toward him, it came from know-where grabbing him, and slowing his fall.

"Wow you are one big rabbit, mate", said the sparkling thing, "well you are the biggest rat I ever saw", said Easter Bunny Dandy, "but I am not a rabbit, I'm a bunny, names Easter Bunny." "Well, surprise, surprise, I am not a rat, I am a big zoom mouse, we, zoom mice can fly and well, I don't know what happened to me, but my tail always sparkles, so they call me Sparkles. " Easter bunny explained that he was born a big bunny, “like you, I was born different, not with a sparkling tail, but just so big, like a rabbit.” soon they landed on a trail by a stream, with colored sparkling water. “Welcome to Rainbow land Easter Bunny.”

Easter Bunny explained to Sparkles, everything that had happened to him as they sat at the Zoom mice table eating chocolate covered peanuts, that was tasty good candy.
Then Sparkles took Easter Bunny on a tour of Rainbow-land. Ponds of chocolate, butterscotch, mint, water falls of sparkling waters colored yellow blue, red, green over flowing into rivers of the same colors, marshmallow bogs, fields of different coloreds, and on and on. Then Easter Bunny announced, “I have to get home Sparkles, can you get me up there.” Of course, my friend” said Sparkles.
After Easter Bunny goes back home, he excitedly told his Mom, and Dad Dandy about Rainbow land and what he saw and said "Dad when I grow up I'm giving all the children in the world candy on Easter day and when he did grow up, well, that's exactly what he did.
Easter Bunny and Sparkles got together one day and took baskets of candy, to the children who helped him, when he got hurt, and waited to see the look on there faces, then when he saw them, screaming in Joy, he was so happy, and Sparkles told them his name was Easter bunny, and when he grew up he would be back every year with candy on Easter day. Over the years the name of Easter Bunny and the candy he gave, those children, became a legend, even though he hadn't began giving other children candy yet, because he was still a bunny. But, he grew even bigger as he got older and then one day he told Mom and Dad Dandy that he was going to Rainbow land and prepare for the next Easter. Julie and Lynne said they would come from time to time and help him fill the baskets, so Easter Bunny said he would send Sparkles when ever they wanted to come, and he would bring them home when they were ready.
Now as you already know, his name is Easter Bunny Dandy, you know him as the Easter Bunny. He is really a Rabbit, A bunny is a baby rabbit, but the handle Bunny (his middle name) sticks like glue, so why fight something so innocent. As you can tell he likes blue jeans, long sleeve flannel shirts mostly sky blue or green, bandanna, and a green alps hat.
His friend sparkles a big huge mouse, is as big as a rat, & wares sky blue bib coveralls, a bandanna around his neck, biker boots and a green long sleeve shirt. another thing you best know or you will be afraid of him, is he has a tail that sparkles different light colors like led lights, and he can fly, as does his mice buddy’s, and family. You see, he is a zoom mouse, and like the other zoom mice he can fly. They they later pull the red Easter wagon and Sparkles fly's ahead lighting the way with his forever sparkling tail.  
Now Rainbow land is a mysterious land with a strange religion, they say it was given by a God and his son, a gift to a hermit who gave his life, to rescue a family from an army of evil troops. He loved animals and always ask god to make a speicial place for the animals he so liked. So when Gods baby was born, on the day of the Hermits death, a hole formed in the ground and all this hermits beloved animals were sucked into it and landed them softly in a now beautiful land, not far from where an old oak tree grew, right where that brave man died for that family.

   The animals in Rainbow land, a place that's been around forever, as they do not remember when they got here, let alone the land got there, its been here that long a time. This place is full of mountains, full of trees like a jungle, flowers and meadow's of different colors of Easter grass, that they put into your Easter basket. There are Colored lakes, full of melted chocoholic, butterscotch, cherry and other yummy candy, and they have tinted water ponds, full of dyed water of different colors, to color candy eggs. And along the mountain leading up to the zoom mice villages, is surrounded by marshmallow bog.

    When they first got to Rainbow-land, Sparkles and Easter bunny, were walking down a small trail along one of the many sparkling streams, where many Easter egg's are colored in. This one had ripples of shy blue tinted water splashing over the rocks, that glittered off the leaves of the green tree's lining the path leading to the path that goes to Robin Redbreast nest, up in the trees, who lays the robin candy eggs, and Goldy, the golden hen, who lays the chicken candy eggs in her house up on a hill along the stream, not far from Robin Redbreast's nest in the tree. Other birds that laid candy eggs were all around, as were many other animals who helped take care of the land.
    Down by the grass fields, lives the Clipper Ants and they clip the grass that goes into the Easter baskets, you can see them chugging along, with bundles of hay, with pretty smiles on there faces, in fact all the animals had never ending smiles that make everyone feel peace in the air. 
    Now of course Easter Bunny wasn't the only rabbit in Rainbow Land, he was just another rabbit from above the sky, of Rainbow Land. Now he, his sisters, and his family, live at his new home and the rest is legend.

Russell R Ellis
I first wrote the story when my son sucked a chunk of color crayon  into his lung, while coloring Easter eggs, so we had to go take him to the hospital, as a whistling came from his mouth or lung, anyway, to get rid of the crayon and the loud whistle he made as he breathed, it took a few days to be coughed out. I also wrote Wick the wicked troll, and Martin the elf at that time, back in the seventy's. 
 ********************************************************************************
    
The Easter Bunny has been around a long time, but you know very little about him. Mostly because storytellers forgot faith, hope, and exploring, comes from dreams and dreams come from stories. To understand faith, ethics, and ideals, we give children stories to dream about, dreams about good people, animals, or thoughts others have about how things like religion's, ethics and Ideals, are interpreted so we know how something becomes so important people wish to believe in it, causing us to step back and allow them there belief, hoping they will honor our beliefs. Here is his story, told to me by an old friend.
     They say rainbow land has been around since the moon, sun were made, and the rain began to fall. In reality, legend says. it became known as rainbow land, when baby Jesus was born and the Wise-Animals from there went to see the baby in the stable come into being as God on earth. But that wasn't what made it so important to humans. No, it happened on Easter, the day Jesus came back to life after he was crucified. The same day, a bunny, being chased by Willy the fox to have him for lunch, but don't blame Willy, bunny's are some of the animals that a fox eats, and this bunny, fell into a hole and was caught by Sparkles the mouse. This happened on Easter, as I said before a day that was always celebrated when Jesus arose, after he died on the cross, they say.

      Now please forgive me, as we are getting ahead of our story. So lets back up and start from where the bunny fell from the hole in the ground. This was one of the biggest bunnies on earth, when he rolled into a ball playing in the snow he looked like a baby polar bear. I seems like every time I go to the fair, I see bunnies bigger and bigger every time, you ever noticed that, the other day a neighbor's rabbit got out and what a shock, it was so big I ask the neighbor boy if he road it, he just laughed.
     The bunnies name was Easter Bunny Dandy and he was the brother of two sisters, Lynne Bunny Dandy, and a Julie Bunny Dandy.
       The children bunnies enjoyed playing in a meadow, just outside there forest area, not far from the hole in the ground under a tree where the nest was at, where they rested at the end of the day.
     One day they were playing in the meadow and out leaped Willy the fox and just missed Lynne Bunny, and just clipped Easter bunny, breaking his paw, as Willy the fox was turning around to get Easter Bunny dandy, a rock hit him and a yell followed as a little girl and boy came running to help him and Willy the Fox ran off to hide from them in the woods. The girl picked up Easter Bunny Dandy and took him home where they took care of him until he was well enough to leave and they took him back to the meadow and let him go.
      Lynne and Julie, were so happy to see him again, laughing in joy as he excitedly told them about the two wonderful human children who helped him survive, Willy's attack on him and how they took such wonderful care of him.  He spoke of wanting to do something good for them, but had no idea what to do, so he put it all in back of his mind and enjoyed the day with his sisters.
      Well my friends, that didn't last long, the very next day as Easter Bunny Dandy was hopping out to the field, on his own, just thinking about all that had happened to him, out jumped Willy the Fox, causing Easter bunny to leap sideways and landing in a hole dropping, dropping, down , down and still more down and falling into a sky of another world, then something sparkling as it streaked toward him, came from know-where grabbing him, and slowing his fall.
      "Wow you are one big rabbit, mate", said the sparkling thing, "well you are the biggest rat I ever saw", said Easter Bunny Dandy, "but I am not a rabbit, I'm a bunny, names Easter Bunny."
      "Well, surprise, surprise, I am not a rat, I am big zoom mouse, we, zoom mice can fly and I don't know what happened to me, but my tail always sparkles, so they call me Sparkles."
      Easter Bunny explained to Sparkles, everything that had happened to him as they sat at the Zoom mice table eating chocolate covered peanuts, that was tasty good candy.
     Sparkles took Easter Bunny on a tour of Rainbow-land.
