The Three Squirrels by Josiah Conley





In the woods next to the three bears lived the three Squirrels, Father squirrel [30], Mother Squirrel [29], and Baby Squirrel [10]. They lived at the top of a hollow log on 477 Fairy St. This story starts in a normal day with the Squirrels. Father Squirrel just woke up and stepped outside to get the newspaper. But what he forgot was that he lived on the top of the tree, SPLAT! Meanwhile, Mother Squirrel was mending a sweater with her teeth. Baby Squirrel was reading “The Lord of the Acorns”.[One hour later] Father was waking up from being unconscious from his fall. The smell of his breakfast of “ aclets” and acorn juice revived him. The morning was the best in years for father.
In the afternoon he left for the “plastic tail hospital” were he works. His patient lost his tail from a dog bite. Mother was packing Baby's “tailpack”. Then Baby left for Acorn Elementary. Father finished the plastic tail. Baby had to write a report about the weird subject of humans. Mother was watching tree decorating. In the afternoon Father was testing the plastic tail [if it doesn't succeed your money back]. first is the shade test, but in the shade test room the temptiur melted the tail. Next is the parachute test but it is too stiff to parachute SPLAT! Work was a failure for Father. He walked home and went straight to bed without eating at all!
