Easter In An Egg Shell, with Dave the Dog
Dave the Dog and Jo Jo chat online about Dave’s recent experience of an Easter Egg Hunt. He was very excited, but had a few troubles along the way.
Jo Jo still isn’t quite sure why, or how, Dave even found a Satsuma and a rock, and sets Dave straight about why Easter Island really doesn’t have anything to do with Easter.
Meanwhile, Dave couldn’t understand what was wrong with his basket full of goodies.
Jo helps Dave by telling a really old story with a book that has just a few colours in it.

Jo 3:10
You're colour blind, aren't you Dave?
Dave the Dog 3:13
How very dare you!
Jo 3:15
That's definitely a pink egg.
Dave the Dog 3:18
Well, anyway, that black egg there, that was good. And then I got another black egg in the next photo. 'Cos all eggs am black aren't they?
Jo 3:25
That's a Satsuma. It's like an orange. It's like a fruit.
Dave the Dog 3:29

Jo 3:30
It's not even an egg!
Dave the Dog 3:32
Well, it's round.
Jo 3:34
Well that's ok.
Dave the Dog 3:34
And it's black like the other eggs.
Jo 3:36
You look like you're having lots of fun. It's the same colour as your hair.
Dave the Dog 3:40
I've got black hair.
Jo 3:44
And, ooh, you found one
Dave the Dog 3:46
Ar, found another black egg, on a black bush.
Jo 3:49
In the bush.
Dave the Dog 3:50
Well it was a bit grey actually that one.
Jo 3:51

Dave the Dog 3:56

Jo 3:57
I know. Busy. Aah, and this is it?
Dave the Dog 4:01
This is all me eggs that is. All the stuff to do with Easter.
Jo 4:04
You put all your eggs in one basket.
Dave the Dog 4:06
All me eggs in one basket? You's a comedian aren't you!
Jo 4:09
Hey, what else have you got in the basket 'cos it's not just eggs?
Dave the Dog 4:12
It's all eggs.
Jo 4:13
No. What's that white thing?
Dave the Dog 4:14
It's an egg.
Jo 4:15
It's not an egg, it's a rabbit.
Dave the Dog 4:18
It's an egg with ears.
Jo 4:19
It's a rabbit!. It's an egg with ears.
Dave the Dog 4:22
Ar
Jo 4:22
Oh, fine. I can see the sticks Yep, well done. Thank you for sharing those pictures and telling us all about your Easter hunt.
Dave the Dog 4:30
There was goot stuff in that basket.
Jo 4:31
There was. How many actual eggs did you get?
Jo 4:36
Well, I dropped one.
Jo 4:38
You dropped one?
Dave the Dog 4:39
And it got a bit smashed. I waited for it to turn into a chicken and make some more but it day work.
Jo 4:45
No
Dave the Dog 4:46
It went all white with a yellow middle, so they told me.
Jo 4:49
But your eggs looked like they were plastic, weren't they?
Dave the Dog 4:53
Well, there was one there was a be squishy.
Jo 4:56
Oh, that was a real egg. It was a real egg was it?
Dave the Dog 4:59
Well they said it was a fruit. You said it was a satmoosta.
Jo 5:02
Sat? You got satsumas, yeah, orangey things..
Dave the Dog 5:08
Yeah, the satmoosta. That's the one. That's what I said, ar.
Jo 5:11
I think I even saw a stone in your basket there Dave.
Dave the Dog 5:13
No, just eggs.
Jo 5:15
They were all eggs. Alright, fair enough. Well, do you know what, do you know why you go on an Easter hunt at Easter?
Dave the Dog 5:21
It's all to do with the Easter Bunny from Easter Island. That's why I got that stone. 'Cos I got that stone. It's genuine stone, from Easter Island, where Easter happens.
Jo 5:31
Well, no, actually Easter, can I tell you what really happens at Easter Dave?
Dave the Dog 5:36
That they dance on Easter Island?
Jo 5:38
No. Easter is about when Jesus died on the cross, and rose again to rescue us.
Dave the Dog 5:43
Did He die on Easter Island?
Jo 5:44
No, He died in Israel, not there.
Dave the Dog 5:47
Is that in Easter Island.
Jo 5:48
No, I don't know. Easter Island isn't part of the Easter story. It really isn't.
Dave the Dog 5:53
Am you sure?
Jo 5:54
I'm absolutely certain. Do you want me?
Dave the Dog 5:56
It's got the name Easter in it.
Jo 5:58
I know.
Dave the Dog 5:58
That's a trade description that is.
Jo 6:00
It's ver confusing isn't it? It's not helpful. But let me tell you what Easter's about.
Dave the Dog 6:04
Yes please.
Jo 6:04
And the reason why we go hunting for eggs, it's a bit like we're lost, and we need to be found. And Jesus has helped us, and rescued us, and found us. Because in the beginning, I'm going to tell you a story with heart these, these colours. I know they're colours, but
Dave the Dog 6:20
Why have you got a black book?
Jo 6:23
The first, first page of my book is all golden. And that
Dave the Dog 6:28
Like a golden black colour.
Jo 6:29
Golden black. Okay, golden. And you know what? In the beginning, God created the whole universe, and everything was perfect, and wonderful, and beautiful, and golden. And we lived in heaven with God. So everything was perfect. How cool is that?
Dave the Dog 6:44
That's good that.
Jo 6:45
That's good. But, now that is dark.
Dave the Dog 6:50
You see, that's white that.
Jo 6:51
Thats?
Dave the Dog 6:52
Why is it a white page?
Jo 6:53
That's dark. That's very, very dark 'cos things went terribly wrong!
Dave the Dog 6:58
Am you sure?
Jo 6:59
Yep, absolutely. All, all the people did things wrong. They disobeyed God. And we messed up. We messed up the world. We messed up our lives. And we were in big trouble. And we needed help.
Dave the Dog 7:11
Like my mate Burt.
Jo 7:14
This is messed up, yeah. So Jesus came to rescue us, to save us, so we could have a relationship with God again, 'cos we lost it. From the beginning it was perfect, but it went wrong.
Dave the Dog 7:27
Why you going from a black page to a white page?
Jo 7:29
I'm going backwards aren't I? And so Jesus came, and this is red now. Trust me on this one, Dave, this is red which represents Jesus dying on the cross. It represents his blood.
Dave the Dog 7:42
Am you sure?
Jo 7:43
Yep, absolutely.
Dave the Dog 7:45
Fair do's.
Jo 7:46
And actually you can't see blood in the dark can you/ Do you remember the story? There's a story in the Bible about the Israelites, and they, you can't see blood in the, in the dark. But
Dave the Dog 7:54
Is that because blood is black, like the dark?
Jo 7:56
No, blood is red, honest! So Jesus rescues us, dies on the cross. That's good Friday. And then, because, if we want to be rescued, if we want Jesus to be our friend, and if we say sorry for what we've done wrong, He will make us white. Now that is white. As clean as white, as snow.
Dave the Dog 8:17
That's good that!
Jo 8:19
Yeah, that's what happens when Jesus comes.
Dave the Dog 8:21
You sure snow isn't black?
Jo 8:23
No, it's definitely white!
Dave the Dog 8:24
Is it like a light grey?
Jo 8:26
Jesus makes us white and clean!
Jo 8:29
And then we all, if you believe in Jesus, you make Him your friend, you say sorry, you get to go to heaven, and you get to be with God. And it goes all golden again at the end. Isn't that good. It's a good story that isn't it? So
Dave the Dog 8:42
It's good that.
Jo 8:43
Golden goes, goes terribly dark. And then Jesus comes. And then He makes us, makes us right again with God. And tada. We get to go to heaven.
Dave the Dog 8:57
Do you know what would make that book a bit better?
Jo 9:00
What?
Dave the Dog 9:00
Some colours.
Jo 9:00
Some colours.
Dave the Dog 9:02
It's all black and grey.
Jo 9:04
So that's the importance of Easter, is about Jesus dying on the cross, on Good Friday. And rising again on, on Sunday. And that's when we have Easter eggs.
Dave the Dog 9:14
I like Easter Eggs.
Jo 9:15
To celebrate. Yeah, but you eat, you like Easter?
Dave the Dog 9:20
Ar!
Jo 9:20
Do you like Easter Eggs.
Dave the Dog 9:21
Ar.
Jo 9:22
Chocolate Easter Eggs?
Dave the Dog 9:24
Special chocolate 'cos I can't have normal chocolate.
Jo 9:28
Special chocolate?
Dave the Dog 9:28
Dogs can't have chocolate!
Jo 9:28
No, they can't can they!
Dave the Dog 9:29
Makes a mess?
Jo 9:30
No.
Dave the Dog 9:31
Shall we keep it PG rated and move on? My mate Burt, he had chocolate once.
Jo 9:36
Oh no, don't, don't tell us about that.
Dave the Dog 9:38
And then he went on a computer. It was a mess.
Jo 9:42
So the Easter is not about Bunnies. It's not about Easter Island. It's not really about eggs. It's all about Jesus
Dave the Dog 9:50
And chickens.
Jo 9:51
And not even about chickens.
Dave the Dog 9:52
So, what's the egg for then?
Jo 9:55
Well it represents New Life, which is what happens. When we decide to follow Jesus we have a new life. So I guess eggs are important. They do help us to understand the story.
Dave the Dog 10:07
Is that 'cos they came before the chicken? Or is it 'cos they crossed the road?
Jo 10:13
Easter In An Egg Shell Dave. What do you think?
Dave the Dog 10:17
I think it'd make a mess. And I'm still not sure about that Easter Island.
Jo 10:23
No, all right then,.
Dave the Dog 10:24
I thought Israel was in Easter Island
Jo 10:30
No, I don't know why you get these things Dave.
Dave the Dog 10:32
From the compooter.
Jo 10:33
From the compooter?
Dave the Dog 10:34
I told you Burt was using it before me so maybe I'm confused.
Jo 10:38
Well, happy Easter Dave the dog.
Dave the Dog 10:41
Ar.
Jo 10:41
Thank you for joining us. Thank you for all your lovely pictures and I hope you have a lovely Easter
Dave the Dog 10:46
Sorry about that one when I was having a wee. That wasn't planned!
Jo 10:50
We've all got to go, haven't we?
Dave the Dog 10:52
Ar, you do! Do you go beyond a tree and all? Is it not just me then?
Jo 10:56
No! Can we see your basket before you go? Or your stick, oh.
Dave the Dog 11:05
Where's the stick, where's me stick?
Jo 11:06
Oh sorry, sorry! You dropped that didn't you? Ooh, ooh, are you all right Dave? Dave? Oh, ooh. Are you alright? I think,
Dave the Dog 11:20
I think I've dropped it.
Jo 11:21
Dropped it? Do you wanna go and pick that up then? We best go and let you go and pick all that up.
Dave the Dog 11:27
It's made a bit of a mess!
Jo 11:29
Thank you Dave the Dog. See you again soon.
Dave the Dog 11:32
Tara a bit! Shall I try that voice control thing?
Jo 11:35
Yeah. Computer. Stop.
Jo 11:42
Thank you so much for joining us. That's the Easter story.
