The rabbit who understood the news
18 April, 2025 | Current General
It was Good Friday in a blooming valley between rolling hills and snow-covered Alps. The meadows glowed in yellow, blue and white, dotted with daffodils, daisies – and of course colorful Easter eggs that had magically appeared overnight. The children of the village ran across the fields, baskets in their hands, ready for the big egg hunt.
On an old tree stump, in the middle of the springtime hustle and bustle, sat a rabbit with round glasses. He hadn’t sat down to rest – no, he was engrossed in a newspaper. And not just any newspaper, but thebrokernews.
The clever rabbit
His name was Hugo. Hugo was no ordinary Easter bunny. He was not only responsible for hiding the eggs, but was also a real thinker. He had long realized that knowledge was just as important as colorful eggs – especially in a world where even bunnies were sometimes confronted with AI, sustainable agriculture and financial markets.
Hugo believed that if children learn where things come from and how the world works from an early age, they will become smarter adults. That’s why he started sitting on his log every Sunday with a copy of thebrokernews to find out about innovations, health, the climate and clever minds – and of course to tell others about it.
Rabbit news among friends
While the children eagerly collected eggs, other forest dwellers gradually joined Hugo. The owl was curious about the latest economic trends, the badger wanted to know about sustainable energy, and the deer listened attentively as Hugo read out a story about an ETH startup called Calvin Risk that wanted to make AI safer.
“If we all understood a little more about what’s going on in the world, we might be better Easter bunnies, owls and badgers,” said Hugo with a wink. “Or at least better neighbors.”
A special Easter egg
When the children came back, they found a small folded piece of paper in each nest alongside their colorful eggs. It said:
“Curiosity is the best Easter egg. – Happy Easter from thebrokernews (and Hugo, of course!)”
