Proposed Illustrations for "The First Easter Egg"

The Man in White was praying at the stone in the garden
Raphael Rooster convinces Reuel
       Rabbit to take the egg to the man
          in Hilda Hen's courtyard, which
          is in the House of Clopas.
Reuel travels down the east side of the Kidron Valley and finally falls asleep. In the morning he protects the egg from  Raphu the Raven.
Reuel Rabbit passes by the Place of the Skull while three men are being  killed on crosses  that are stuck in the ground. One is the Man in White.  Cornelius the soldier is asked  by Sibilius the Centurion  to  see what is behind a rock. He is surprised at seeing a rabbit with an egg in its mouth. 
Raphu tells Reuel that he will help him get by the soldiers at the Antonia Fortress. Reuel is spotted by Daniel the Donkey but not by his owner who thinks
Daniel is afraid of rabbits.
Reuel finally gets away
and searches for the hole
in the City Wall.
