and then he was very much frightened
OF course, If Billie had taken johnnie

might not have been 50 frightened, but
there he was, little squirrel, all alone
in the woods
When he made sure that he was lost,
the first thing ne did was 10 climb a

his grandpa and his grandma. and Jen-

though Billie climbed the tallest tree
