Sam Squirrel's Story Page 39



Scatty Hi, this is Sam's friend Scatty again.
The weather is getting a bit colder now, as it's October. I had started to gather up some nuts to bury, ready to eat in the winter months.

Hazelnuts If I am awake on a sunny day in the winter it is nice to have some food but the birds have usually eaten it all.

The hazel tree in the human's garden had plenty of nuts but I had to think where to hide them.

Garden The grass near the tree seemed a good place, I think Father human calls it his 'lawn'! but it was so easy to dig a hole and pop a few nuts in.

The job was going well, I had done about four or five holes when I heard this noise and looked up to see what it was. Someone was knocking on the window.

Face Well you wouldn't believe the fuss, anyone would think that it was wrong to dig holes all over the lawn. Still it will be interesting to see if I can find all the nuts again, I will tell you later.

See you again
