The story of EEB part 2

EB is still deeply in love with sweets. An everlasting love. But do you know what makes EEB happy? His ears. Besides sharing his sweets of course. But his ears. His big ears. They are magical. They always bring joy and happiness. If something was wrong or someone was sad, EEB dropped by with his magical ears. And everything was right and cheerful again.

Long live EEB and his ears. But… This wouldn’t be an Easter story, if something big was about to happen. Do you remember the people who loved EEB his sweets? They couldn’t stop eating them. That is why EEB disappeared. But his sweets didn’t. They pop up every now and then. Everyone was happy again. But you’ll never guess what happened.

They always want more

It’s unbelievable. I thought that everyone was happy. The world was a peaceful place again. But it wasn’t so. Becoz some people weren’t happy at all. Some. They were unsatisfied. They complained that EEB wasn’t around the whole year. I must say, some people will never be pleased. They always want more. But these people were worse than that.

They turned bitter. And got angry. Their angriness turned into rage. Uncontrollable rage. They organised secret meetings to express their rage. Those meetings became so violent, that they turned dark. Real dark. Like a dark storm. A tornado. With huge force. Yes, you know where this is going. It became Dark Force.

A ferocious shape

The Dark Force turned into a shape. A ferocious shape. Like a snake. No not a snake. It had claws. Big sharp claws. And fire. Breath of fire. My fears had come true. The Dark Force had turned into a monster. A Monster Dragon. And it was going for sweets. Oh no! It was going for EEB!

Now, imagine that you are a little bunny. Hopping around. Sharing sweet treats. Making people happy. And enjoying your ears. But then you hear that a fire breathing Monster Dragon is coming for you. What would you do? Exactly! Get the hell out of here! Hide! Dig a hole so deep, that if you dig any deeper you would find yourself on the other side of the planet. But not EEB.

EEB doesn’t dig

First of all, EEB doesn’t dig. I know, it sounds strange that a bunny doesn’t dig. But EEB doesn’t because he’s not a real bunny. He just wears the ears. And second, EEB never gives up. So instead of running, EEB does the opposite. He faces the Dragon. But before he does, he does what he does best. He starts baking. Baking sweets. He bakes and bakes.

The best sweets ever! He’s on fire! The most delicious! Irresistible! Heavenly! Yummy! Best of the best! Sweetest of the sweetest! But then there is a knock on the door.

Who could that be? No-one knows where EEB lives. In fact, EEB doesn’t even have a permanent residence. But the knocking isn’t actually knocking. It’s more like hammering. Actually the door is getting a beating. To be precise, the door is getting smashed. It’s the Monster Dragon. It has come for EEB and is about to devour him.

The whole house was gone

But before the Dragon can enter… well, actually there’s nothing to enter anymore since the whole house is gone. Well anyway. Before the Dragon can strike, something unexpected happens. He sees EEB and his ears. But… what is that?

What is EEB holding in his hand? Is it dangerous? Is it sweet? But… it is both! It’s the best sweet treat ever! A dangerously delicous sweet! And EEB is offering it to the Dragon. There’s a moment. Silence.

The Dragon is stupefied. Flabbergasted. Have you ever tried to offer a Dragon a sweet treat? Well, neither have I. But EEB just did. I told you his ears were magical, right? And this sweet is so irresistible. The Dragon cannot refuse. That would be impolite at the least. I mean, if someone offers you the best sweet ever, would you refuse? I don’t think so. Neither did the Dragon.

He puts the sweet in his mouth. And what happens next is indescribably. Now, I’m facing a dilemma. I just told you that words cannot describe what just happened here. So why should I bother? Well… alright. I’ll give it a try. When the Dragon tasted this most delicious sweet ever, it reminded him. Of what? Well, of everything.

The Monster Dragon melted

It reminded the dragon of deliciousness. Of enjoying. Happiness. His youth. Love. Sharing. Of taking a mint when having a bad breath. Of everything. The Monster Dragon melted. The Monster disappeared, but the Dragon stayed. Of course. Have you ever seen a Dragon disappear by melting? Neither have I. That only happens in fairy tales. Anyway. The Dragon learned the most important thing: That everything is sweeter with EEB. Happy Easter!
