"I daresay you would," said the squirrel; "and if you couldn't get it, you would soon die." "But do _you_ never wake up and want _your_ dinner, Mr. Squirrel?" said Tommy Smith. "Oh yes," said the squirrel, "I often wake up, but whenever I do, I can always get it. Do you know why? I DARESAY YOU WOULD SAID THE SQUIRREL AND IF YOU COULDN'T GET IT YOU WOULD SOON DIE BUT DO YOU NEVER WAKE UP AND WANT YOUR DINNER MISTER SQUIRREL SAID TOMMY SMITH OH YES SAID THE SQUIRREL I OFTEN WAKE UP BUT WHENEVER I DO I CAN ALWAYS GET IT DO YOU KNOW WHY
the squirrel. “You have food in the winter, don’t you?” “Oh yes,” said Tommy Smith. “Of course you do,” said the squirrel. “It is all got for you, so you have no trouble. _I_ have to find mine myself, but in the winter there is none to find. So if I didn’t go to sleep, I should starve.” Tommy Smith remembered, then, that the grass-snake had told him that _he_ went to sleep in the winter, because he could get no frogs to eat; and the frog had said _he_ did, because he could find no insects. So he saw that there was the same reason for all these three animals, who were so different from each other, doing the same thing. “And that’s why the dormouse goes to sleep too, I suppose,” he said to himself, and then he began to think that if any other animals went to sleep all the winter, it must be because _they_ could get no food. “But I don’t think _I could_ go to sleep if I was very hungry,” he said to the squirrel; “and if I did, I’m sure I should wake up again very soon and want my dinner.” T AT NIGHT OF COURSE SO WHY CAN'T YOU THAT IS EASILY ANSWERED SAID THE SQUIRREL YOU HAVE FOOD IN THE WINTER DON'T YOU OH YES SAID TOMMY SMITH OF COURSE YOU DO SAID THE SQUIRREL IT IS ALL GOT FOR YOU SO YOU HAVE NO TROUBLE I HAVE TO FIND MINE MYSELF BUT IN THE WINTER THERE IS NONE TO FIND SO IF I DON'T GO TO SLEEP I SHOULD STARVE TOMY SMITH REMEMBERED THEN THAT THE GRASSNAKE HAD TOLD HIM THAT HE WENT TO SLEEP IN THE WINTER BECAUSE HE COULD GET NO FROGS TO EAT AND THE FROG SAID THAT HE DID BECAUSE HE COULD FIND NO INSECTS SO HE SAW THAT THERE WAS THE SAME REASON FOR ALL THESE THREE ANIMALS WHO WERE SO DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER DOING THE SAME THING AND THAT'S WHY THE DORMOUSE GOES TO SLEEP TOO I SUPPOSE HE SAID TO HIMSELF AND THEN HE BEGAN TO THINK THAT IF ANY OTHER ANIMAL WENT TO SLEEP ALL WINTER IT MUST BE BECAUSE THEY COULD GET NO FOOD I DON'T THINK I COULD GO TO SLEEP IF I WAS VERY HUNGRY HE SAID TO THE SQUIRREL AND IF I DID I'M SURE I SHOULD WAKE UP AGAIN VERY SOON AND WANT MY DINNER
