Some Squirrels I Watched

One day, when I was playing out-of-doors, I noticed several squirrels.
They seemed to be playing “Tag.”
They chattered as they played.
They ran up and down the trees.
They went around the trees and down to the ground.
Then they ran up into a tree.
After a time a dog came.
The squirrels crossed over on a telephone wire to another tree.
They climbed to the top of this tree.

The dog grew tired of waiting for the squirrels and went away.
Then the squirrels came back to the first tree.
They stayed there such a long time that I did not see them again.
