See Bobbie Squirrel.
What a big tail he has!
One day he ran down a tree.
Jack Rabbit was coming along.
His tail was little.
Jack Rabbit said, “Look at Bobbie!
He wants us to see his big tail.”
Brown Owl said, “Oh, see Bobbie!
He has his tail above his back.”
Bobbie Squirrel ran to a nut tree.
There were nuts under the tree.
Bobbie dug a hole in the ground.
It was a big round hole.
He swept the nuts into it.
He swept them with his big tail.
Bobbie covered them with leaves.
He swept the leaves with his tail, too.
Then he ran to his home in the tree.
He will eat the nuts next winter.
Guess what Bobbie found at home!
He found shells on the floor!
A little squirrel had put them there.
“Oh, dear me!” said Bobbie.
“The floor must be swept!”
So Bobbie swept the floor.
He swept it with his big tail.
By and by, night came.
Bobbie went to sleep on the floor.
Guess what he did with his tail!
