"But isn't it rather difficult to find them again when you wake up a long time afterwards?" said Tommy Smith. "It would be to you, I daresay," said the squirrel; "but it is quite easy to me. You see, I have a wonderful memory, and never forget where I once put a thing. BUT ISN'T IT RATHER DIFFICULT TO FIND THEM AGAIN WHEN YOU WAKE UP A LONG TIME AFTERWARDS SAID TOM SMITH IT WOULD BE TO YOU I DARE SAY SAID THE SQUIRREL BUT IT IS QUITE EASY FOR ME YOU SEE I HAVE A WONDERFUL MEMORY AND NEVER FORGET WHERE I ONCE PUT A THING
red with forests. Do you think it was the squirrels who cut them all down?” “Oh no,” said Tommy Smith. “It was men with axes, I should think.” “Yes,” said the squirrel. “It is that great axe of theirs that does the mischief, not these poor little teeth of mine. It is axes, not squirrels, that they should keep out of the woods.” Tommy Smith thought the squirrel might be right, but he wanted to hear something more about what he did and the way he lived, so he said, “Oh, Mr. Squirrel, you haven’t told me where you hide the nuts and acorns that you eat when you wake up in the winter.” “Oh, in all sorts of places,” said the squirrel. “Sometimes I scrape a hole in the ground and bury them in it, and sometimes I put them into holes in the trunks of trees, or under their roots, if they run along the ground, or into any other little nook or crevice near where I live. In fact, I put them anywhere where it is convenient, but _not_ where it is _in_convenient. That is another of my clever notions.” ER ONCE YOU KNOW ALMOST THE WHOLE OF ENGLAND WAS COVERED WITH FORESTS DO YOU THINK IT WAS THE SQUIRRELS WHO CUT THEM ALL DOWN OH NO SAID TOMMY SMITH IT WAS MEN WITH AXES I SHOULD THINK YES SAID THE SQUIRREL IT IS THAT GREAT AXE OF THEIRS THAT DOES THE MISCHIEF NOT THESE POOR LITTLE TEETH OF MINE IT IS AXES NOT SQUIRRELS THAT THEY SHOULD KEEP OUT OF THE WOODS TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT THE SQUIRREL MIGHT BE RIGHT BUT HE WANTED TO HEAR SOMETHING MORE ABOUT WHAT HE DID AND THE WAY HE LIVED SO HE SAID OH MISTER SQUIRREL YOU HAVEN'T TOLD ME WHERE YOU HIDE THE NUTS AND ACORNS THAT YOU EAT WHEN YOU WAKE UP IN THE WINTER OH IN ALL SORTS OF PLACES SAID THE SQUIRREL SOMETIMES I SCRAPE A HOLE IN THE GROUND AND BURY THEM IN IT AND SOMETIMES I PUT THEM INTO HOLES IN THE TRUNKS OF TREES OR UNDER THEIR ROOTS IF THEY RUN ALONG THE GROUND OR INTO ANY LITTLE NOOK OR CREVICE NEAR WHERE I LIVE IN FACT I PUT THEM ANYWHERE WHERE IT IS CONVENIENT BUT NOT WHERE IT IS INCONVENIENT THAT IS ANOTHER OF MY CLEVER NOTIONS
