  Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to Radio Eye's Children's Story Hour. As
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a reminder, Radio Eye is a reading service intended for
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: people who are blind or have other disabilities that make
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: it difficult to read printed material. Today we are going
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to be reading about squirrels. Your reader today is Patty.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We're going to start with a book called Squirrels Fall Search.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: This book was written by Anita Lowry and Daniel Haworth.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: It was published by QEB Publishing in 2012. Let's begin.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Squirrel and his little brother were busy collecting pine cones, berries,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and nuts. Fall had arrived and and food was everywhere.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Juicy blackberries speckled the thorny bushes. Corn was being harvested
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in the cornfield. Squirrel's little brother picked up one of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Squirrel's nuts. I bet you can't catch me, he laughed,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: and then he ran away. They chased each other around
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: in circles. Colorful leaves swirled all around and made Squirrel dizzy.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows the two little squirrels running around
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: and round and round, and all the colorful fall leaves
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: are scattered up around them. Squirrel chased his little brother
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: into the woods, but soon he realized he could not
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: see his little brother or his food anywhere. Squirrel hoped
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: his little brother wasn't taking any more of his nuts.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Mouse scampered out of the leaves, carrying a seed. Squirrel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: started to feel hungry. Squirrel had enjoyed chasing his brother
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: so much that he had forgotten where he had put
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: his food.' Have you seen my food?' Squirrel asked Mouse.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Have you looked in the meadow? asked Mouse. The illustration
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: here shows Squirrel and the much smaller Mouse together on
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the grassy lawn, and they're talking to each other amid
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the beautiful, colorful leaves. Squirrel searched the long grass in
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the meadow. He tutted and scratched his head. I'm sure
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: my food was around here somewhere, he said. Rabbit poked
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: his head out of his hole to see what was
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: going on. Have you seen my food anywhere? asked Squirrel.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Have you looked by the pond? suggested Rabbit. Squirrel searched
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: through the reeds by the pond. Leaves were floating on
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the surface of the water. Squirrel sniffed the air and tutted.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I buried my food around here somewhere, he said.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows Squirrel over by the pond, pushing
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: aside the green grass and looking out all around the pond.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Watching him are some frogs sitting out on some rocks.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And Squirrel just looks like he cannot figure out what
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is going on. Owl was watching Squirrel from above.' Isn' t
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that your little brother over there by the old apple tree?'
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: she asked.' It looks like he's got some tasty food
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to eat,' said Owl. Squirrel ran as fast as he
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: could to the apple tree. Squirrel's little brother was so
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: surprised that he dropped the nut he was holding. I'm sorry,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: he said. I was just so hungry. Did you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel, that food tastes even better if you share it?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: They smiled at each other and ate their tasty food together.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And the illustration here shows the two young squirrels who
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: are brothers sitting under the apple tree, eating their nuts
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and berries. Now here at the end of the book,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: there's a list of fall activities. Fun and simple ideas
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: for you to explore. What food is harvested in fall?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Lots of different types of food are available for picking
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and harvesting during fall. What types of food are harvested
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: where you live? Name the foods that appear in the story.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Here's another activity. Go for a fall walk. The fall
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is a great time for a walk. The weather isn't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: too hot or too cold, and it's fun to play
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in the leaves. It's also a good time to collect
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: pine cones and leaves for home craft projects. On your walk,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: collect as many different colored leaves as you can. Make
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: a leaf collage. Use the leaves you collected from your
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: fall walk. For best results, make sure the leaves are
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: completely dry before using them. You can glue them onto
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: cardstock paper in any pattern you like. You can even
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: try wax crayons to make leaf rubbings. Act out the story.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Using paper, pencils, and paint to make masks of Squirrel
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and his friends. Can you remember anything the character said?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: You could either act out the story as it is
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: in the book, or you might prefer to add a twist.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: And here on the last page, it says, what did
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: we learn about fall? The woods and fields are full
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of food. Fall is a season where there is plenty
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of food, such as berries and nuts. Animals eat as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: much as they can to build up stores of body fat.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: They use this fat to help them stay warm in
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the winter. Squirrel and his little brother are collecting food.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Some animals store food in the fall. They bury the
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: food in the soil or hide it inside holes. They
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: go back to these hiding places to eat the food
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: during the winter. Corn is being harvested in the cornfield.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Fall is a busy time for farmers. They harvest the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: crops in the fields or on fruit trees and start
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: planting more crops for the following year. Squirrel chases his
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: brother in the colorful falling leaves. As the fall days
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: get colder, the leaves on some trees turn various shades
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of red, brown, and yellow. This is because the green
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: color in the leaves breaks down, so we can see
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the other colors hidden underneath. Fall winds blow the dry
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: leaves off the trees. Geese are flying over the woods.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: In the fall, some birds go on a long migration
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: journey to spend the winter in a warmer place, such
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: as Africa. They will return to their home countries when
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the weather warms up in the spring. And now I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: have another book to share with you. This one is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: called Squirrels World. The author is Lisa Moser and the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: illustrator is Valery Gorbachev. It was published by Candlewick Press
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: in 2007. From the Inside Front Cover. Squirrel is a very, very,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: very good helper. He helps his tree grow. He helps
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the river flow. And he helps his three best friends, Mouse, Turtle,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and Rabbit. He is such a good helper, in fact,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that he helps his friends when they do not even
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: know that they need help. It is a lot of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: work being such a caring squirrel. but there is much
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: to do before sleep, sleep, sleep time. Prepare to fall
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: in love with the utterly endearing and undeniably exhausting squirrel
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in this sweet and funny chapter book from author Lisa
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Moser and illustrator Valerie Gorbachev. So now we begin with
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: chapter one, A Busy, Busy, Busy Start. Squirrel was busy, busy, busy.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: He had to help his tree grow, grow, grow, cheered Squirrel.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: He had to help the river flow, flow, flow, said Squirrel.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: He had to help his friends. Gotta go, gotta go,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: gotta go, go, go. Squirrel found Mouse running up and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: down a hill. Hello, hello, hello, said Squirrel. What are
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: you doing? I'm getting food, said Mouse. I'm storing it
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: in my nest. She put one piece of corn in
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a stump. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, said Squirrel.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: I am a great corn picker. I will help you.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He ran up the hill to the cornfield. That was
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a long way, said Squirrel. I don't want to run
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: up and down. I have an idea. Squirrel picked ten
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: ears of corn. He rolled them down the hill. Here
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: they come, he shouted. Bang! Thud! Crash! Squirrel ran down
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the hill. Mouse, Mouse, where are you? Under here, said Mouse.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: An illustration here shows the squirrel rolling all these ears
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: of corn down the hill. Unfortunately, when the corn gets
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to the bottom of the hill, they hit Mouse, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: now he's buried under the corn. Squirrel moved the pile.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Mouse rubbed her head. She went into her nest in
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the stump. Thank you for your help. You can go now. No, no, no,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. I want to help. What other food do
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: you like, like, like? Well, said Mouse, I like apples.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, said Squirrel. I am
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: a great apple picker. He ran up a tree. I
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: only need one apple, Mouse shouted. But Squirrel did not hear.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: He shook a branch. An apple fell. Plunk! He shook
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: the branch again. Plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk! He shook
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the branch as hard as he could. Plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk!
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Squirrel looked down. Mouse? Mouse? Where are you? Mouse crawled
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: out of the stump. I am in here. It was
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: raining apples. Squirrel looked around. He saw piles and piles
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of apples. He saw piles and piles of corn. It
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: will take you forever to eat all this food, said Squirrel. Yes,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: it will, said Mouse. Hooray, said Squirrel. Tomorrow I will
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: come back to help, help, help. Squirrel jumped from tree
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: to tree. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, go, go,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. Mouse just rested against an apple. Chapter Two
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: The Perfect Game Squirrel went to the river. Hello, hello, hello,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. Is that you, Turtle? Turtle looked at his feet.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Turtle looked at his shell. Yep, it's me, said Turtle.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: What are you doing? asked Squirrel. I was playing a game,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel, but I fell asleep. Oh boy, oh boy,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: oh boy, said Squirrel. I am a great game player.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I will help you. Squirrel jumped over Turtle's nose. Turtle
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: did not move. Squirrel jumped over Turtle's shell. Turtle did
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: not move. Squirrel jumped over Turtle's tail. Turtle did not move. Boing, boing, boing, boing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Squirrel jumped and jumped and jumped. Then he looked at Turtle.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: You are not good at this game, he said. What
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: are we playing? asked Turtle. I am playing leap, leap, leapfrog,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. But you are playing leap, sleep, sleepfrog. Your
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: game is too fast, said Turtle. Let's play my slow game.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It's called Find a Four-Leaf Clover. First, sit down. Squirrel
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: sat on his tail. Squirrel sat on his paws. Squirrel
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: sat on his head. Turtle fell asleep. The illustration here
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: shows the turtle sitting down all fast asleep and the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: squirrel sitting upside down, standing on his head on a stump.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Wake up, turtle, said squirrel. I'm sitting down. What's next?
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Find a clover, said Turtle. Squirrel found a clover. Squirrel
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: found a rock. Squirrel found a dirty old shoe. Turtle
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: fell asleep. Wake up, Turtle, said Squirrel. I found a clover.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: What's next? Count the leaves, said Turtle. Squirrel counted the leaves.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Squirrel counted his paws. Squirrel counted his teeth. Turtle fell asleep.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Wake up, Turtle, said Squirrel. I have an idea. Let's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: play a game we both like. Let's play hide and seek.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Close your eyes, said Turtle. I'll hide. Turtle hid behind
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: an old log. He did not move. The illustration here
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: shows Turtle moving away slowly and Squirrel covering his eyes
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: like he's counting to ten and waiting to play hide
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: and seek. Squirrel ran up a tree and looked. He
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: jumped in a bush and looked. He looked under a rock.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: He looked in a puddle. At last Squirrel looked behind
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the old log. I found you, he said. Turtle looked
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: at his feet. Turtle looked at his shell. Yep, it's me.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: That was fun, fun, fun, said Squirrel. Yep, said Turtle.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I like to hide. You like to seek. Hide and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: seek is the perfect game for us. Squirrel patted Turtle's shell.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, go, go, said Squirrel.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Turtle fell asleep. Chapter 3 One Wet Rabbit Squirrel found
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Rabbit by the pond. Hello, hello, hello, said Squirrel. What
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: are you doing? Rabbit looked at some dark clouds. His
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: ears trembled. His whiskers twitched. I need that leaf. Rabbit
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: pointed to a large lily pad in the pond. But
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: I do not like to get wet. Oh boy, oh boy,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: oh boy, said Squirrel. I am a great leaf getter.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I will help you. Squirrel ran into the woods. He
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: came back with a big stick. I am going to whack, whack,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: whack that leaf. Then it will float to shore. Smack
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: went the stick. Splash went the water. Oh dear, said Rabbit.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Smack went the stick. Splash went the water. Oh, no,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: said Rabbit. The illustration here shows Squirrel whacking that stick
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: over and over into the water of the pond. And
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the big splashes are hitting Rabbit all over. And now
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: he's really wet. Water dripped from Rabbit's nose. Water dripped
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: from Rabbit's ears. Water dripped. from Rabbit's tail. Oh boy,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: oh boy, oh boy, said Squirrel. I have another idea.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Rabbit looked up. The clouds were darker. A cold wind blew.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Please hurry, said Rabbit. Squirrel pushed a log into the water.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We will go out on the log. I will reach, reach, reach.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: i will get that leaf pardon me said rabbit last
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: time i got wet may i try this time rabbit
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and squirrel went out on the log rabbit leaned over
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: you are close, close, close, cheered squirrel. He jumped up
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: and down on the log. Rabbit wobbled a little. Rabbit
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: leaned more. You are closer, closer, closer, cheered squirrel. He
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: jumped up jumped down, down on the log. Rabbit wobbled
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a lot. Rabbit leaned way over. He grabbed the lily
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: pad and pulled. You've got it, got it, got it,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: yelled Squirrel. He jumped up, jumped down, up, down, up, down.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: The log went up, down, up, down, up, down. Rabbit
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: fell into the water. Splash! The illustration here shows the
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: brown rabbit and the gray squirrel jumping up and down
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: on that log. Squirrel pulled rabbit out of the water.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Water dripped from rabbit's nose. Water dripped from rabbit's ears.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Water dripped from rabbit's tail. What will you do with
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: that leaf, leaf, leaf? Asked squirrel. Rabbit held the lily
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: pad over his head. Raindrops began to fall. It is
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: an umbrella, said Rabbit. I do not like to get wet.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Squirrel danced in the rain. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, go, go,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. Rabbit waved goodbye from under his lily pad.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Chapter Four Good, Good, Good Night Squirrel ran up to
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: his nest. He stretched out on some old leaves. It
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: has been a good, good, good day, said Squirrel. He
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: closed his eyes. Suddenly, he jumped up. Oh, oh, oh,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: he said. I forgot to say goodnight. The illustration here
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: shows Squirrel In his hole, in the hollow of a tree,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: you can see that it's dark outside because there's the moon,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and he's got his hands behind his head, and then
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: suddenly he jumps up. Squirrel ran to the old stump.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: He yelled, Mouse, Mouse! What? squeaked Mouse. What are you doing, doing, doing?
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: asked Squirrel. Sleeping, said Mouse. I came to say good, good,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: good night. Mouse sighed. Good night, Squirrel. Now go to sleep.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Squirrel found Turtle at the river counting stars. You should
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: be sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, said Squirrel. I'm not tired, said Turtle.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, said Squirrel. I have
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: an idea. Counting sheep will make you tired. Yep, said Turtle.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: But I don't have any sheep. I will help you,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: said Squirrel. Squirrel started bouncing. Bah, bah, bah, he said.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: He bounced up a tree. Bah, bah, bah. He bounced
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: on a rock. Bah, bah, bah. He bounced on turtle's shell.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: The illustration here shows that squirrel is bouncing first on
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: top of the tree branch, then on top of some
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: gray rocks, and then on top of poor Turtle's shell.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Are you sleepy, sleepy, sleepy? asked Squirrel. Nope, said Turtle,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: just dizzy from watching you. I have another idea, said Squirrel.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You could count stars instead. Yep, said Turtle. He sat
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: down and started counting. Squirrel found Rabbit in his burrow.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: What are you doing, doing, doing? asked Squirrel. I am
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: trying not to be afraid, said Rabbit. His ears trembled,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: his whiskers twitched. Afraid of what? asked Squirrel. The dark,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: whispered Rabbit. The illustration here shows poor little brown rabbit
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: in his burrow, holding his little paws over his face,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: and squirrel standing at the hole, trying to encourage him.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I have an idea, said squirrel. He ran outside. A big,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: lumpy shadow walked toward rabbit. Thump! bump. Rabbit yelled, Squirrel,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: help me. I'm scared. It's only me, me, me, said Squirrel.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: He opened his paw. A firefly glowed brightly. Now you
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: won't have to be afraid of the dark, said Squirrel.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Rabbit gently took the firefly. I will take good care
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of him, said Rabbit. Thank you. You have been a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: big help. You are welcome, welcome, welcome, said Squirrel. Squirrel
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: ran back to his nest. He snuggled in some old leaves.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: It has been a good, good, good day, said Squirrel.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Then he finally went to sleep. And now I have
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a quick book that's written as a poem. It's called
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Nuts to You. The author is Lois Erlert. The publisher
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: is Harcourt Incorporated, published in 1993. See that squirrel in
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: our tree? I think he'd rather live with me. I'll
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: wait a while. He could be shy, or maybe he
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: likes it way up high. Look, here he comes, trying
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: to hide. He can't wait to get inside. He's in
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: the flowers. He's really bad. He's digging up bulbs. My
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: mom is mad. There he goes up the bricks on
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: his claws. He steals seeds and eats with his paws.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Walking on tiptoe, tail held high, he brushes my plants
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: as he zips by. I opened my window for some
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: fresh air, but I forgot the screen has a tear.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: When I came back, guess what I found? The squirrel
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: was there looking around. So I got some nuts, ran
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: out the door, Tapped one on the sidewalk and left
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: a few more. Nuts to you, I shouted, loud as
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: I could. The squirrel peeked out. I knew he would.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: He looked to the left and he looked to the right.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: He ran down the bricks and took a big bite.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: He ate all those nuts, then scampered away. But he'll
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: get hungry again someday. I'll keep nuts in my pocket,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: one or two. And when I see him, I'll say, nuts.
• 27:57
