Tales from Today
Squirrel
Spy School
’m sure that squirrel is spying on
“Ius,” said Kit. “You only just threw out
those crusts and it’s already eating them.”
Sure enough, Dash the squirrel was nibbling the bread
crusts Kit’s mum had thrown out. It was Dash’s fifth breakfast.
No animal could match his sneaky food spying skills – not
even the birds, who spent too much time flapping and
squawking. Dash had it down to a fine art. Tummy
low, claws gripping tightly, he’d scurry along
the branches and blend into the tree bark to
keep a look-out. He was Spy Squirrel – always
on a mission for the next tasty bite!
“It’s not fair,” peeped the robin one day.
“He always gets there first and barely
leaves a crumb for anyone else. He even
eats the food from our bird feeders.”
