Eating Nuts
Squirrels are very fond of nuts.
One day I saw two squirrels eating some acorns.
They found the acorns on the ground.
They sat up on their hind legs, and held the nuts with their front paws.
They looked as if they were holding the nuts with real hands.
One Sunday afternoon I had some nuts.
I put the nuts into my pocket and went out-of-doors.
I saw a squirrel.
I took some nuts from my pocket.
Then I tapped on the sidewalk with a nut.
The squirrel heard the tapping.
When he saw me, I held out my hand.
After some coaxing, the squirrel came up and took the nut.
He came up several times.
I fed him the nuts until they were all gone.
Another time I saw a squirrel taking nuts from a man’s hand.
The squirrel carried the nuts to his hole in the tree.
Perhaps he was saving the nuts for winter.
