Third Grade - Mythological Animal

We had to create our own mythological animal (you know like a Griffon). It was in April, so I must have had Easter on my mind because what I came up with has a major Easter bent to it.

Chickit
Once upon a time there was an animal that had ears like a rabbit, a head like a chick, with whiskers, and a body like a chick, feet like a chick, and a tail like a rabbit. He was all white except for pink eyes and pink ears. The Chickit hatches, full grown, from an egg, once every decade to take the place of the one before it.

All year the Chickit lays eggs to deliver at Easter time.

The eggs are symbolic of rebirth. The Chickit is symbolic of the completed cycle of life.
