The Forgetful Squirrel
The little squirrel loved tasty acorns. Winter was coming!
He dug a hole and hid one! Then he found another. “Where did I put the first one?” he wondered. Swish! A fluffy cat’s tail whisked by.
“I must remember!” he thought. He found a very round acorn. He buried it under a pretty red leaf. Chirp! Chirp! A busy robin picked up the red leaf!
The squirrel sat down. “Hmm,” he thought. He had an idea! He found a shiny acorn. He tied a colorful ribbon to it and tied the ribbon to a big branch.
He tied more ribbons to more acorns! When winter came, he followed the ribbons. He found ALL his tasty acorns! Hooray!
