# St. Nicholas/Volume 32/Number 2/Nature and Science/White Squirrel

A white squirrel.
A few years ago a snow-white squirrel appeared near the writer’s home among the Berkshires, and it was her good fortune to have this white-furred, pink-eyed little beauty for a pet. This albino was not captured until autumn, when it was full-grown. It was not quite as large or as strong as its companions, and so was more easily tamed.
Few of the young people who keep tame squirrels realize that a cage A white squirrel. with plenty of nuts and water is as hard for their pet as prison bars with bread and water for a boy. We found “Frolic,” the white squirrel, eager for all kinds of fruit except grapes. In June he stained his paws with strawberries; in August he feasted on mushrooms; and during winter birch buds fresh from the snowy woods were always a great treat. Whenever the cage door was opened, this fairy-like pet would climb into the window-garden and eagerly nibble the shining Christmas ferns.
The young folks Who have seen wild squirrels at their games of tag in the June woods know how much those in captivity need to play. A large pan of snow on a bare floor makes an ideal romp for such a lively pet. Frolic would turn somersaults, and frisk and play by the half-hour in his delight over snow, which he had never seen until it was shown him in the house. Instinct seemed to tell him, as it does the boys and girls, that snow is just the thing to play in. He often tried to coax the kitten to romp with him, plainly showing that a caged pet longs for companionship. Sometimes tame squirrels, when frequently fed, will live for months in a dooryard and are far happier, healthier pets when allowed their freedom. I know of one case where a wild gray was coaxed to live in a country dooryard. This squirrel grew so tame that it would take nuts from the hand, although it made frequent trips back to its native haunts. One day an old hunter was out in the woods, and seeing a gray watching him, he pointed his gun at him. In the nick of time the thought flashed across his mind that it might be the village pet. The man took a nut from his ​pocket, and the confiding little animal jumped to his shoulder and ran down his arm for the feast.

# Tales of Old Lusitania/The Ant and the Snow

Apparently a couple pages of this tale were omitted at the printers. After several more encounters the story concludes: "Oh, butcher! you are so strong that you kill the ox, that drinks the water, that puts out the fire, that burns the stick, that beats the dog, that bites the cat, that eats the mouse, that pierces the wall, that blocks the sun, that melts the snow, that clogs my feet." The butcher replies: "I may be strong but death takes me away."
THE ANT AND THE SNOW.
One cold winter's day, when the ground was covered with snow, a poor little ant went out of her house to seek for food. Before she had taken many steps, her little feet became clogged in the snow, and after trying hard to extricate herself, she cried: "Oh, snow, you must be strong to clog my little feet so."
To this the snow replied: "I may be strong, but the sun can melt me."
"Oh, sun," she then said, "you must be strong to melt the snow that clogs my little feet."
The sun replied: "I may be strong, but the wall keeps me from shining on the snow."
"Oh, wall, you must be strong to keep the sun from melting the snow that clogs my little feet."
The wall replied: "I may be strong, but a rat can scratch a hole through me."
"Oh, rat, you must be strong to scratch a hole through the wall that keeps the sun from melting the snow that clogs my little feet."
The rat replied: "I may be strong, but the cat can eat me up."
# Tales of Old Lusitania/The Echo

THE ECHO.
Once upon a time there lived a man whose wife was so fond of drink that, do what he would, he could never keep his wine cellar full. One day, as he was leaving home to buy some oxen, he earnestly entreated his wife not to go into the cellar and drink the remaining bottles of wine, because they were of a fine vintage, and he was keeping them for an especial occasion; but the moment he had left the house she went and invited a neighbour to join her in drinking up her husband's choicest wine.
As may be supposed, when the man returned home and found that all his wine was gone, he was very angry with his wife; he took up a thick stick to beat her with, but as he was preparing to carry out his purpose the wife cleverly turned him away from it, saying, "My dear husband, why should you wish to beat me when I am quite innocent of the crime of consuming your wine. It was not I that did it, but our old cat, who has lately shown a great liking for intoxicating drinks." As the man would not believe that story, she repeated ​her assertion, saying, "Now to prove to you that what I say is the truth, I invite you to go with me to the shrine of Our Lady of Grace, and there before her miraculous statue, ask her who it was that drank your wine, I or the cat. If Our Lady says that I am the guilty party, I promise solemnly that as a punishment for my fault I will bring you home on my back, but if Our Lady says, what is really the fact, that our naughty cat was the thief, why then you must carry me home instead." The good honest man agreed to his wife's proposal, and they both started for the Chapel of the Virgin, which was some distance off. But when they came to a certain spot which was surrounded by hills and famous for its wonderful echoes, the cunning woman stopped short and said to her husband, "It is needless to go any farther, for Our Lady of Grace can hear us here as well as at her shrine. Ask her yourself to enlighten you, and I am sure she will readily grant you the favour you seek."
The man, who was honest and simple-minded, did not suspect his wife of deceit, whatever other faults she might have, and he therefore, raising his voice, cried aloud to Our Lady, "Oh, sweet Lady of Grace, tell me who it was that drank my best wine—was it my wife or the cat?"
He paused for the answer, and the mountains taking up the last words of the sentence, echoed back the words, "The cat." The man repeated the question ​three times, and thrice did the echo answer back, "The cat."
The man, perfectly convinced that his wife was innocent, tenderly took her up and carried her home on his back, much to the amusement and relief of the woman.
When the man returned home he killed their old cat so that his wine might be safe from her thievish tastes.
