In the blossom patch, Pippa tucked a plain sugar egg under her downy wing and tapped the tiny flower button on her chest. Tap, tap—soft as crumbs. She wanted the egg to be ready for the spring basket, but it stayed smooth and white. The rabbits tied their bows. The clouds drifted like marshmallows. “Not yet,” hummed the sun, warm on Pippa’s beak.

The rabbits gasped. The other eggs listened, and stripes, swirls, and zigzags woke up all around the patch. Ever since, candy eggs wear patient little patterns. Can you find the first dot Pippa waited for?
