cHIPPY cHAPPvs BIRTHDAY.

Chippy Chappy. the squirrel named

vitations to his squirrel friends, say
ing that he hoped they would all come
10 his birthday party the following
day.
They all arrived on time, and they
all brought Chippy Chappy birthday
presents Chippy Chappy was delight
ed and said:
"Oh my c ear Nutty Chum. | didn't
expect you TO give me such a lovely
present. In fact, hoped you wouldn't
give me anything. These nuts are Just

OF course Chippy Chappy wasn't
speaking the truth. He really had
hoped to get lot of birthday presents,
and so he was asking his friends to
come to his birthday party. Not that
everyone who has a birthday party
is like Chippy Chappy, gracious. mercy,

But Chlppy Chappy was quite a

nuts for my winter supply. But don't
worry. I'm glad to do It for You"
For Bright Eyes wanted Chippy Chap
by to know. that he was giving him a
handsome present He didn't feel in
the least modest about It,
He felt like some people do, who
want to let others know their pres
ents are expensive and fine. which
isn't in the least a generous thing to
do.
ITS good of You to come. all OF
you, and to bring me such fine pres
ents Now Wen have the party"
So they all sat down and ate some
of the nuts which Chippy Chappys
friends had brought him for his birth
day. They were little surprised to
see that they were eating some of
their own gifts.
Didn't you have anything ready
for supper yourself?" asked Nutty
Chum.
81 didn't bother; though you might
bring me birthday presents" said Chip
by Chap. THAT is, he corrected him
self, 81 didn't think so at all that is,
oh dear, oh dear, I'm getting all mixed
up. The heat has gone to my brain
"Heat?" said Nutty Chum. Its a
cool autumn day"
Then the cool autumn day has gone
TO my head" said Chippy Chappy.
They began to squeal and Shrek and
argue now, and during it Chippy Chap
by made several trips to his winter
storehouse, where he put away a num-
Der Of his birthday nuts for good keep
ing.
After they had finished quarreling,
though, Chlppy Chappy thought he re-
ally ought to do something at his own
party. SO he led all the squirrels down
to an apple orchard, where they nib
bled some delicious apples and really
had fine banquet.
The squirrels were so delighted with
the whole party as il turned out, that
they told Chippy Chappy what a won
derful time they had had. Chippy
Chappy was so delighted with their
praise that he quite forgot himself
and said:
Wei, friends, come to my birthday
party next week"
How can you have q birthday party
next week?" Nutty Chum asked.
"0h, ! always have my birthdays in
the autumn" said Chippy Chappy. ITS
quite the incest time Of the year"
"That may be-" said Bright Eyes,
hut you're not supposed to have more
than one birthday year. don't be,
lieve today was really your birthday

ooh, don't be so sassy about wheth-
er it really was or wasn't for / don't
care about that" said Chippy Chappy.
"The point is you've been good friends
to me and I've given you a good party.
so we shouldn't think about such
small points as whether IT'S really my
birthday or not, or whether q crea-
ture can have more than one birth
day a year or whether they can have
them IN the autumn. Let's not be too
fUssy"
