 so he only said, “Oh, Mr. 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?” “Perhaps it is a little larger than my cap,” said Tommy Smith. He did not think it could be _much_ larger. “Why,” said the squirrel, “it is larger than you sometimes.
