As Patrick was painting the egg, he sees a little crack appear.
All of a sudden, the egg breaks and a tiny, yellow marshmallow Peep falls out! Patrick is shocked! He immediately runs back to the tree to look for more eggs.
He finds the tree and begins to climb it. He crawls out on the limb where the nest is and sees six more eggs. He carefully carries the nest down the tree and brings it home. One by one, the eggs begin to crack open and in each one is a sticky, sugary, colorful Peep. Blue, pink, green, red, orange and rainbow colored! Patrick kisses each one and tells them he loves them. Soon later Patrick adopts all of the little peeps. The End.
