"The Easter Basket" is a short story for kids about a boy who finds a basket in a field. He takes it home and his mother makes it an Easter basket for her grandfather in the hospital.

Once upon a time, a wooden basket was left in a field. It sat there for
a long time. It sat through summer, fall, winter, spring, and summer, 
fall, winter. . . until. . . One spring day, a little boy found the 
wooden basket. He brought it home to his mother. She looked at it, and 
looked at it, and looked at it. She picked it up, put it down, and then 
put six colorful eggs with a large white stuffed bunny in the basket. 

The mother and her son took the basket to a massive building. They set
it down in a big dark room. "Rest now, Grandpa," said Mother, brushing 
her grandfather's gray hair, "Happy Easter." 

The next morning, the old man woke up and saw the basket with the bunny
and eggs. "I wonder who. . . " he said to himself. He smiled. "I guess 
it's a mystery."
