Roof Rally
By Dan Green
Most days I idmire that little rascle, the
squirrel. That furry little mummal is always
busy. Its usual costum is to keep busy
burying food all day long. On one recent day
a squirrel decided to take a break. He brought
twenty of his cusins and held a rally on my
roof. The noise was terrible! How could this
happen? Stop it, I shouted. They scampered
over the gutter and ran away. It was good to
have peace and quiet again.
