Sam Squirrel's Story Page 04

Hi, my name is Scatty and I am a friend of Sam Squirrel.

I live in the trees at the end of the human Family's garden.

The humans are very good and put peanuts out for the birds. They use a squirrel-proof bird feeder as I used to pinch all the nuts and we have had some battles over that.

This story is about a snowy day some years ago. You can see how deep the snow is from the picture.

It was a bright day so I woke up from my hibernation and decided to get some food.



I had hidden some peanuts in the garden tubs last year. The humans did not like me digging there but I was

I went down and scraped a bit of snow off the tub. Luckily the earth was still soft so I was able to find a couple of nuts.

One of the humans saw me and tapped on the window glass.
'That naughty squirrel is digging in our tubs again!'

Still they were sorry for me and put out some bread on the lawn and some peanuts on the path.

Now if they would just stop using the 'squirrel-proof' bird feeder I would be very grateful.


See you again for more stories.
