The Squirrel's Acorn Piggy Bank

In the autumn forest, Tori gathered acorns one by one. A hole in a tree was Tori's piggy bank.

"One for today, one for winter." Tori stacked the acorns neatly.

A cold wind blew, and the first frost came. The forest grew quiet.

A baby mouse named Squeak was curled up under the tree. Squeak looked hungry.

Tori looked into the piggy bank. There were not very many acorns.

Tori took out three acorns and handed them to Squeak. "Let's eat together."

Squeak said thank you and gave a little wag of the tail. Tori's heart felt warm.

When spring came, Squeak brought a big pile of sunflower seeds. This time it was Squeak's turn to share.
