Sam Squirrel's Story Page 19



Grandson Hello, I am one of the Family's Grandsons.

I was telling Granma the tale about the mother squirrel and her two babies.

I did laugh as it took quite a while for Mother Squirrel to find the second baby.

Baby squirrel in the drain pipe The first baby probably knew where it was all the time as they had been playing in the gutter and drainpipe.

Mother Squirrel

Anyway, back to my tale.

Mother Squirrel came back to look for the second baby and eventually found it in the top of the drainpipe.

She coaxed him out and then did her run again.

She jumped across the gap between the garage roof and the house next door, up the wall and onto the roof.

Houses The baby stayed put. "Yes, I see what you are doing  -  and it's all very well but I really, really don't want to do that!

Mother Squirrel had another go to get the baby to come but didn't succeed.

In the end, the mother fetched the first baby back over to show how easy it was.

By this time, it was getting late and the second baby was worried about being left behind.

Happy Squirrel So, he made the attempt and managed it OK   -   much to everyone's relief.

I was pleased because it was tea time and I was getting very hungry !

Bye for now.



See you again
