[Carina](ZJR9Z3L7) was a little bunny with a big sweet tooth. She loved Easter more than anything because she was sure it meant baskets full of chocolate eggs! As the holiday approached, she couldn’t contain her excitement.

So [Carina](ZJR9Z3L7) and [Diego](WZFJP5M7) got to work. They chopped, mixed, and cooked, using the fruits and vegetables to create a colorful Easter feast. It wasn’t chocolate, but it smelled delicious!

Finally, their masterpiece was ready: a beautiful carrot cake decorated with strawberries and greens, surrounded by a fruit salad. [Carina](ZJR9Z3L7)'s eyes sparkled with excitement.

[Carina](ZJR9Z3L7) invited all her friends to join the feast. They laughed, ate, and played together, enjoying the special treats. [Carina](ZJR9Z3L7) realized she didn’t miss the chocolates anymore!

As the sun set, [Carina](ZJR9Z3L7) smiled. She learned that surprises could be better than she expected, especially with a little help from a wise friend and some creativity!
