"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 didn't go to sleep, I should starve." 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
“I think we are to have a little chat, are we not? It’s you that must ask the questions, you know.” “Oh, I should so like to,” said Tommy Smith, “but I promised the mother woodpigeon to go back and talk to her, and I am going there now.” “The mother woodpigeon will be on her nest for another hour or two,” said the squirrel, “so you will have time to talk to her and to me too. And let me tell you, it is not every little boy who can have a talk with a squirrel.” Tommy Smith thought that it was not every little boy who could have a talk with a woodpigeon either. But he wanted to have both, so he said, “Very well, Mr. Squirrel, and I hope you will tell me something interesting about yourself.” The squirrel only nodded, and said nothing; and then Tommy Smith remembered that he had to ask the questions, so he said, “Why is it, Mr. Squirrel, that you go to sleep in the winter? It seems so funny that you should. I stay awake all the time, you know—except at night, of course,—so why can’t you?” IT IN THE RIGHT WAY WELL SAID THE SQUIRREL I THINK WE ARE TO HAVE A LITTLE CHAT ARE WE NOT IT'S YOU THAT MUST ASK THE QUESTIONS YOU KNOW OH I SHOULD LIKE TO SAID TOMMY SMITH BUT I PROMISED THE MOTHER WOODPIGEON TO GO BACK AND TALK TO HER AND I AM GOING THERE NOW THE MOTHER WOODPIGEON WILL BE ON HER NEST FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR TWO SAID THE SQUIRREL SO YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO TALK TO HER AND TO ME TOO AND LET ME TELL YOU IT IS NOT EVERY LITTLE BOY WHO CAN HAVE A TALK WITH A SQUIRREL TOMMY SMITH THOUGHT THAT IT WAS NOT EVERY LITTLE BOY WHO COULD HAVE A TALK WITH A WOODPIGEON EITHER BUT HE WANTED TO HAVE BOTH SO HE SAID VERY WELL MISTER SQUIRREL AND I HOPE YOU WILL TELL ME SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT YOURSELF THE SQUIRREL ONLY NODDED AND SAID NOTHING AND THEN TOMMY SMITH REMEMBERED THAT HE HAD TO ASK THE QUESTIONS SO HE SAID WHY IS IT MISTER SQUIRREL THAT YOU GO TO SLEEP IN THE WINTER IT SEEMS SO FUNNY THAT YOU SHOULD I STAY AWAKE ALL THE TIME YOU KNOW EXCEPT AT NIGHT OF COURSE SO WHY CAN'T YOU
