In a magic place, there was a big hunt to find golden eggs every spring. A fairy hid the eggs in a forest, and the finder could make a wish.

This time, the fairy hid a very special golden egg that had an even bigger surprise. All the people were very excited and couldn’t wait to find it.

On the hunt day, everyone came to look for the eggs. They searched everywhere. It was hard to find any eggs, but then a small gnome named Giggles found the special egg. Inside, it had magic to help others.

Instead of keeping the magic, the people used it to find all the eggs together. They had fun and made wishes for their friends and family to be happy. The fairy saw this and made their good wishes even bigger. The egg hunt showed everyone that being kind and working together is the best.
