Atticus

Intro You are a squirrel and you have big plans. You see you observed that the humans who come into your forest, especially the ones with the shiny headwear and big, white horses, tend to talk to your neighbors, tend to spend at least a night, but they bring their own food. So your big plans. If they can spare the time to hunt for the wise owl they can spare a nut or two (or a bag or three) for you. You would make it easier for them to find your even. You are not even picky, once you brurried a shiny blue nut, that you couldn't eat, that came from a shiny headwear that humans are so fond of and that grew a tree, too. So it's not that much to ask that humans play for your help with something that you (or your friends) can eat after it's buried and grown into a tree. Really humans are the weird ones, for going so crazy over these hard blue nuts they call sapphires and not eat. You can even speak occasionally, there is a pond that let's you do that if you drink from it, so the stubborn humans have no excuse. Madam Goose once told you that you might communicate exclusively in rude words while speaking human, but that is a human issue. And to make sure that the humans notice you and pay for your help with nuts, Mr. Raven claims your plan is either a border toll or straight up highway robbery without explaining what that means, you have devised the me7ans to make them notice you. See, after observing them you noticed that humans enter your forest by certain trees, you approve of the is chose as oaks are nice trees to sleep in. So you lie in wait with your rocks. If one approaches without your nuts you throw your rocks at them until they notice you and deposit the nuts on the indicated area, which Madam Goose helped you make. The human that draws near is a really old one, you don't see many of them that have hair in their faces long enough to braid. Carefully you lift your rock and aim.
