because he thought and hoped Squirrel's Problem The little squirrel was He went to look for Big Bear food. He went to Big Bear's scampered over to Little Old not getting his supply of food for winter. because he knew that Big Bear would give him house, but he wasn't home. Little squirrel Rabbit's house. Unfortunately, he knocked ll I ll on her door, and he heard the oldish sound of a voice say I m sick . Then he went to his best friend's hole. Squirrel had his best suit on and can't forget prayed he would be able to have a feast with his best friend, Racoony the racoon. You see, for the past seven or eight or nine or ten or eleven years squirrel had visited Racoony's house and Mrs. Racoon had cooked some Nut Souffle. lf you want to know the recipe for Nut Souffle, this is it: 6 nuts--ground, stick in dough and put thin chops of nutana in the souffle. When he knocked on Racoony's door, there was a loud crash! Boot! The door burst open and Racoony went shooting out the hole in the door and hit squirrel in the back of the head. The reason why he hit squirrel in the.back of the head is squirrel was trying frantically to get out of the way. Racoony said Hsorryn. He then added that Mrs. Racoon wanted to divorce him because she was bored of making Nut Souffles. After a long time of thinking and planning, they finally came up with an idea. They thought that they could sneak into Racoony's Cwhich is now Mrs. Racoon'sJ hole and steal some food, so they got their black masks on. They then snuck in the hole, but Mrs. Racoon was waiting for them with a broom in her paw. She wacked squirrel and Racoony on the head with the broom. Squirrel and Racoony went screaming out of the hole. Squirrel saw a newspaper clipping that said there was a Nut Souffle making contest. The first prize was a mink coat. And so squirrel showed it to Racoony and they both smiled. They lowered it into Mrs. Racoony's chimney. Mrs. Racoon saw the clipping and immediately began cooking. She did not notice that it didn't say where to take it. She had so much fun making the first Souffle that she made six more. She liked cooking the seven Souffles so much that she invited squirrel and Racoony in and they had a feast. They had one problem. They had forgotten the farmer that wanted to kill them because they lived under his favourite tree and that he had been looking everywhere in the forest for them. His name was Harry and everyone hated him. Harry had just reached Racoony's hole and shot eight bullets straight down the hole. All eight hit squirrel's spoon. So the animals played dead and Harry went away thinking that he had killed them. The animals picked themselves up and started eating again. After awhile squirrel forgot there was a hole in the spoon and he tried to take some sugar, but was unsuccessful. Then he noticed the hole in the spoon. So he got a wad of chewing gum and stuck it in the hole in his spoon. After that, his Nut Souffle stuck to his spoon. So he put the spoon away and got another one. After the feast, they went for a ride in the car. After awile, they came to a railroad track. Racoony, the driver forgot to stop at the track. A train was coming. The car was smashed to smitherenes. But luckily they got out of the car just in time. After 29

the accident happened, they watched the train go by and walked home punching Racoony. When they got home, squirrel went to do his business his business is doing commercials. This is one of the commercials he does: Squirrel Fire-top stuffing or mashed potatoes and gravey made by Granny? Children: Potatoes! Potatoes! Potaaatoes! Squirrel Okay! Okay! Children Get mashed potatoes every time you go to Granny's place After he did all the commercials he had to do, he went over to Little Old Rabbit's house to see if she was feeling a little better. She couldn't feel better, she said. After squirrel went to Old Rabbit's house, he went to Racoony's house. At Racoony's house, a very boring visiter was ringing the door bell. When they got in Racoony's house, the boring critter sat down on the couch, without saying nhellon, then he started telling everygody about things they already know. These are some of the things he told them about: Did you know that a car was bashed to pieces by a train? Did you also know that a squirrel in this very forest and a racoon snuck in this... nOut!n A loud voice broke his voice, which was Racoony's. HOut! You're telling us things we already know! Out! Out! Out!H Racoony screamed as he chased him out the hole. A few minutes later, Racoony came panting Cfrom the.chasingJ back. HI don't understand him,H said Racoony. HWell, back to my problem,n said squirrel. HBack to my problem...H HI know!H yelled Racoony. nWe'll go to the enchanted part of the forest for help!H HWhat?H asked squirrel. HHow? We don't have a car!H HBut we do have money,H said Racoony. HWe can go to George's Rent- a-Car, and rent a car, or even buy one.n HAlright, but make it fast,n said squirrel. HWell, here we go, off to the enchanted part,n said Racoony. By the time squirrel and Racoony had rented the car, it was night. So, they went to bed. In the morning, they got up, thundered down the stairs, had breakfast, and dived into the car and zoomed off. When they were twc 2 miles away from home, they met an owl. He was just waking up and he was hungry. Then, there was the sound of flapping wings, and feathers were flying everywhere. Then came the piercing scream of Mrs. Racoon. Then it all stopped. All was silent. Mrs. Racoon had fainted. Then, they looked up. Then they saw the dreaded face of Harry! Harry had a rifle in his hand. There was a hollow tree beside them. HAre you thinking what l'm thinking?H whispered squirrel. HYes,H answered Racoony and his wife. Then, they dashed for a hole in the hollow tree. And they were gone. A few bullets shot through the hole, but that was it. HNow to get out,H said Racoony, peering through the hole. HGet over here, Wondolflu screamed Mrs. Racoon. There was a flash and a very strange looking squirrel was standing there. HWhat do you want?H he said. Hwondolf, we want you to get us out of here,H said Racoony. HAlright,H said Wondolf, Ulf you say so.n He mumbled a few magic wor and Poof! they were gone. nl can help you, ya know,H said Wondolf. HAL SHAZAMl!!H screamed Wondolf, and there was a happy ending. And the next adventure. Squirrel...ah! but that's another story. Judd Palmer Grade 2 30
