 There were two very active squirrels today. This chubby one was looking to see where Miss. Olive was. |
 He carefully looked in all directions. |
 When he was sure she was far enough away, he hopped into the tree and climbed to the ground. |
 Then he stealthily snuck behind another tree. |
 Then, he sat there eating seeds under the bird feeder with his eyes on Miss Olive. |
 Miss Olive just watched him for awhile. Then she charged, and he scurried back up the tree. |
