In turn, Sedaris recognizes that French culture is even more foreign to him than he originally thought. However, his teacher turns this question back on him, asking how a rabbit would do this. This makes little sense to Sedaris, who asks how a bell could possibly know where to take the chocolate. Hearing this, his French teacher corrects him, saying that the French version of the story is that a bell flies in from Rome to deliver the chocolate. When one of Sedaris’s foreign classmates asks the class to tell her about Easter, Sedaris explains that the Easter Bunny delivers chocolate to children. When Sedaris discovers that French people have different Easter traditions than Americans do, Easter becomes a representation of the ways in which cultures vary from each other even when they seem fairly similar.
