I ain't no squirrel

I was in my tree sleeping when I was woken up by these humans. I had no idea what they were doing but it looked odd. I could see everything clearly, it was mid-day. There was a man and a child. The child was making this noise from her mouth, at least it seemed like but either way it was too loud and annoying. That’s what woke me up. The man kept picking up the child and spinning her around, which increased that noise. Ugh, I wish that noise stopped.
I climbed down the tree to get a closer look because I still can’t understand that noise. Then she squealed, “Daddy look at the squirrel! I want him!!” “What?” I was thinking what is a daddy better yet why was she pointing at me and calling me a squirrel. I ain’t no squirrel. I am a cute fur ball who likes nuts and trees. Next thing I knew I was running for my life. She came after me. She wanted me. This annoying noise making child wouldn’t leave me alone. I ran into my hole but when I peeked out she was still there.
After days it seemed like, she was making that noise again. I peeked out and still didn’t understand that noise but even now what is she doing??? She was running around with a thing on a thing trying to make it go up into the sky. But wait, is that a nut I see? Is she trying to make a nut stay up into the sky? I had to get a closer look but how without her chasing me again. I don’t like her noise but I am so curious.

I slowly walked down my tree and ran a little then froze then ran and froze and ran and froze. I was so good, she didn’t see me. That noise was going to make my ears bleed it was so loud. I was close enough and risked my life for nothing. It wasn’t even a nut it was just a brown blob. I will never understand humans and that noise making they do.

  1. Your story was cute and simple. You really captured the thought process of the animal and how he or she felt about humans. Through your writing, I was able to envision the setting which made the story more enjoyable to read. I specifically enjoyed your description of the animal's movement, which is often seen in nature. Great job!

  2. What a cute story. I thought it was funny how the squirrel referred to itself as a cute fur ball. You did well description the confusion of the author. You also did well with the squirrels investigation of his/her confusion. Creatively written.
