           "The First Easter Egg"
We must remember, Reuel had
to accept the mission to
deliver the egg to the man
who was depressed
in Hilda Hen's
courtyard.
Raphael could not
deliver the egg because
  he needed to
  crow for the
 Master Shepherd at sunrise.
Reuel encounters the two rats, Lamech and Machir.
Leah the White Cat saved Reuel from Lamech and
Machir and sends the rabbit to find the Wall Mouse whose name is Lemuel. She tells him the mouse lives in a crack in the city's wall and north of the hole through which Reuel entered the city.
Lemuel Wall Mouse helps Reuel to get cleaned up and rested behind some water jars across the street.
Meanwhile, Leah  instructed Obadiah Owl to keep an eye on Reuel and Lemuel just in case the rats return. At the same time the rats decide to return and look for the rabbit
and his egg.
Lamech and Machir arrange a rat pack attack on the Temple, where
Leah hides the egg. It is Lamech's evil anger that allows the creature Stryrat to enter the battle.
There is a dangerous confrontation that Reuel has with Stryrat on the parapet wall of the Temple where he learns to fight the beast with one word and Leah's help.
Get the book and discover what finally happens. What does Reuel discover by laying the egg at the feet of the man in Hilda Hen's courtyard? What does the man discover?
The next day Reul rests. After that Lemuel takes the rabbit to the House of Clopas where Hilda Hen greets Reuel inside
the gate to Clopas' courtyard.
