The Last Easter Egg
My mom and I were in Florida during my mom's spring holiday from teaching middle school. As an anxious four-year-old, I had asked my mom several times if the Easter Bunny would be able to find us. She promised me there would be eggs.
On Easter morning, my mom and I discovered that the Easter Bunny had left eggs on the hotel's main lawn（草地）for all the kids. As we walked toward the group of adults and kids waiting for instructions, I found all of the kids were much bigger than me in the competition. It wasn't looking good. The hotel staff member in charge of the hunt explained the rules. My heart began racing as I watched some of the other kids get into a pose to start.
When the staff member yelled "GO!", all kids raced across the lawn, running from tree to tree looking for the plastic Easter eggs filled with candy. I dashed to the closest tree but did not find any eggs. I ran to a nearby sandpit（沙坑）hoping there would be an egg hidden there. But there wasn't. I looked across the lawn and saw the other kids holding up their plastic eggs and knew my chance of finding even one egg was becoming smaller by the second.
Just then my mom pointed out a palm tree across the lawn. " Look! There's One!"A shiny blue plastic egg was resting against the base of the tree. I looked up at my mom in excitement. However, she was staring in the direction of another mom, whose son was pulling candy out of an egg. The two moms were looking at one another and then at what appeared to be the last Easter egg. I had never seen my very petite（娇小的）mom before that day. She had been born with weak knees, due to an issue with her legs, and when she was in primary school she had worn special shoes to correct a foot problem.

As they stood there staring at each other, I started running toward the Easter egg. My mom walked back to me with the Easter egg of her victory. |
