The Hungry Squirrel



The Hungry Squirrel
Early one morning a small red squirrel was gathering nuts while a  hawk  was circling high in the sky. The squirrel sensed something was wrong.

He lifted his tail and slowly lifted his head. Danger! The squirrel heard the hawk whistling. The squirrel was frightened his paws planted firmly on the ground and his body puffed up.

The hawk was still flying high in sky. He  had a shiny  yellow beak his feathers are grey and black. The squirrel slid away behind a tree but the Hawk grabbed the red squirrels bushy red tail.

The squirrel wriggled and jiggled to get free then the squirrel ran home into the old tree. The hawk flew away into the sky the squirrel darted out of his tree to gather some more nuts at the edge of the forest.
