I could get inside the cap you have on your head. But how large do you think the house I make, and go to sleep in, is?”  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 MISTER 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 ANY RATE 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 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 WELL THE SQUIRREL BEGAN IT IS VERY LARGE MUCH LARGER THAN YOU WOULD EVER THINK TO LOOK AT ME I COULD GET INSIDE THE CAP YOU HAVE ON YOUR HEAD BUT HOW LARGE DO YOU THINK THE HOUSE I MAKE AND GO TO SLEEP IN IS
