This was when he was in the fir trees. But to see him run down the long, drooping branch of a beech tree, right to the very end, and then drop off it on to another one far below—that was the finest sight of all. THIS WAS WHEN HE WAS IN THE FIR TREES BUT TO SEE HIM RUN DOWN THE LONG DROOPING BRANCH OF A BEECH TREE RIGHT TO THE VERY END AND THEN DROP OFF IT ON TO ANOTHER ONE FAR BELOW THAT WAS THE FINEST SIGHT OF ALL
 think of doing that. I shall go home by the treeway, and you can walk underneath me. Now then!” And as the squirrel said this, he gave his tail _such_ a whisking, and away he ran along the branch he had been sitting on, right to the end of it, and then gave _such_ a jump on to the branch of another tree, and then out of that tree into another one, and so from tree to tree, so fast that Tommy Smith could hardly keep up with him as he ran along the ground underneath. It was not always that the squirrel had to jump from one tree to another, because their branches often touched each other, and then he would run along them without jumping at all. Sometimes they would be very near together without quite touching, and then when he came to the end of the branch he was on, he would lean forward, and, with his little fore-paws, catch hold of the tips of several of those belonging to another tree, and draw them all together, and then give a little spring amongst them, and away he would go again. E SQUIRREL I SHOULDN'T THINK OF DOING THAT I SHALL GO HOME BY THE TREE WAY AND YOU CAN WALK UNDERNEATH ME NOW THEN AND AS THE SQUIRREL SAID THIS HE GAVE HIS TAIL SUCH A WHISKING AND AWAY HE RAN ALONG THE BRANCH THAT HE HAD BEEN SITTING ON RIGHT TO THE END OF IT AND THEN HE GAVE SUCH A JUMP ON TO THE BRANCH OF ANOTHER TREE AND THEN OUT OF THAT TREE INTO ANOTHER ONE AND SO FROM TREE TO TREE SO FAST THAT TOMMY SMITH COULD HARDLY KEEP UP WITH HIM AS HE RAN ALONG THE GROUND UNDERNEATH IT WAS NOT ALWAYS THAT THE SQUIRREL HAD TO JUMP FROM ONE TREE TO ANOTHER BECAUSE THEIR BRANCHES OFTEN TOUCHED EACH OTHER AND THEN HE WOULD RUN ALONG THEM WITHOUT JUMPING AT ALL SOMETIMES THEY WOULD BE VERY NEAR TOGETHER WITHOUT QUITE TOUCHING AND THEN WHEN HE CAME TO THE END OF A BRANCH HE WAS ON HE WOULD LEAN FORWARD AND WITH HIS LITTLE FORE PAWS CATCH HOLD OF THE TIPS OF SEVERAL OF THOSE BELONGING TO ANOTHER TREE AND DRAW THEM ALL TOGETHER AND THEN GIVE A LITTLE SPRING AMONGST THEM AND AWAY HE WOULD GO AGAIN
