little baby squirrel, which is 30 tame
that It will let you pick 1t up in your

One morning I was down where the
squirrels were. The baby squirrel was
down at the foot of the tree. The mother
was way up high and she was coaxing
the squirrel to come up, but it would
not pay any attention to its mother at
all. I petted It and guess the mother
thought was going to hurt her little
squirrel for she made more noise than
ever. Finally 1 put it on the tree and
It ran on up to its mother.
