Then quick with his little nimble feet


And his sharpest little white teeth,
He gathered and dropped them one by one,
From the tree to the ground beneath.
He soon had pile as large as himself,
And he thought whata hole he must dig,
When just one more caught his squirrel eye,
Way up on the very topmost tWig.
Twas hard old nut, and he pulled and
pulled,
But he got it at last and dropped it down,
"And Dow,' said the squirrel, Owe quite
enough;
I'll hide them away meath the leaves SO
brown"
'Then down he ran, but the nuts were
gone;
Not one was left for bis winter store,
And he angrily curled his bushy tail,
And snapped his teeth till his jaws were
sore.
'1 wish l could find the thief" he said,
"I'd give him nut to crackp
'Ha, hap laughed boy behind the tree
As he ran with the nuts on his back.

The lesson we might learn from the
poor squirrels misfortune, is, it is best ito
let well enough alone" When plenty is
already provided, to be contented, and not
risk everything in trying to get just little
more.
