"And perhaps," he thought, "he only means those kinds of birds." But he thought he had better not ask the squirrel this, in case he should be offended, so he only said, "Oh, Mr. Squirrel, will you please tell me all about your nest, and how you make it, and what it looks like." AND PERHAPS HE THOUGHT HE ONLY MEANS THOSE KIND OF BIRDS BUT HE THOUGHT HE HAD BETTER NOT ASK THE SQUIRREL THIS IN CASE HE SHOULD BE OFFENDED SO HE ONLY SAID OH MISTER SQUIRREL WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOUR NEST AND HOW YOU MAKE IT AND WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Mr. Squirrel, as you go to sleep in the winter, you have to come out of the trees and find a place on the ground to”— “Out of the trees!” exclaimed the squirrel. “I should think not, indeed. That would be very unsafe. Besides, I should never feel comfortable if I did not rock with the wind when I was asleep. I should have a nasty fixed feeling, which would wake me up every minute.” This surprised Tommy Smith a good deal. He knew that squirrels lived in the trees all day, but he did not know before that they slept in them at night too. “Then do you make a nest like a bird, Mr. Squirrel?” he asked. “Like a bird, indeed!” said the squirrel. “No; I make one like a squirrel. It is not necessary for me to imitate a bird. We squirrels can make nests a great deal better than birds can.” Tommy Smith did not quite believe this. At anyrate, he felt sure that a squirrel could not make a better nest than some birds can. But he remembered that some other birds make only slight nests, or none at all.
