"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." 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
 said Tommy Smith. “I know that the frogs and the snakes go to sleep all the winter, but I didn’t know any regular animal did.” “Why, doesn’t the dormouse?” said the squirrel. “He’s a much harder sleeper than I am. I suppose you call _him_ a regular animal.” “Oh yes,” said Tommy Smith. He had forgotten the dormouse, and, of course, _he was_ a regular animal. By a “regular animal,” I suppose Tommy Smith meant one that wasn’t an insect, or a reptile, or a worm, or something of that sort. Perhaps he couldn’t have said exactly _what_ he meant, but whatever he did mean, you may be sure that it was not very sensible, because all living creatures are animals, and one is just as regular as another, if you look at 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 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.” S IT DOESN'T MATTER BUT DO YOU GO TO SLEEP FOR SUCH A LONG TIME SAID TOMMY SMITH I KNOW THAT THE FROGS AND THE SNAKES GO TO SLEEP ALL THE WINTER BUT I DIDN'T KNOW ANY REGULAR ANIMAL DID WHY DOESN'T THE DORMOUSE SAID THE SQUIRREL HE'S A MUCH HARDER SLEEPER THAN I AM I SUPPOSE YOU CALL HIM A REGULAR ANIMAL OH YES SAID TOMMY SMITH HE HAD FORGOTTEN THE DORMOUSE AND OF COURSE HE WAS A REGULAR ANIMAL BY A REGULAR ANIMAL I SUPPOSE TOMMY SMITH MEANT ONE THAT WASN'T AN INSECT OR A REPTILE OR A WORM OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT PERHAPS HE COULDN'T HAVE SAID EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANT BUT WHATEVER HE DID MEAN YOU MAY BE SURE THAT IT WAS NOT VERY SENSIBLE BECAUSE ALL LIVING CREATURES ARE ANIMALS AND ONE IS JUST AS REGULAR AS ANOTHER IF YOU LOOK AT 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
