From the leaf thief by Alice Hemming and Nicholas Slater. What a wonderful time of year. I'm snugging my nest with a belly full of hazelnuts and the sun is shining through my leafy canopy. Such lovely colors, red, gold, orange, red, gold, orange, red, gold. Wait a minute. One of my leaves is missing. Where is it? It's not in here, it's not under here. Bird. What is the matter? Someone stole my leaf, your belief. Yes. One of my leaves is missing. My leafs looked a lot like that one. That one that mouse has. That is not your leaf squirrel. But how can you be sure mouse, mouse? Did you steal my leaf? No, this is my boat. Sea squirrel. It's perfectly normal to lose a leaf or two at this time of year? Ok. Ok. Thanks bird. See you tomorrow the next morning. Oh, no, this is bad bird. What's the matter this time? More leaves have been stolen. Excuse me, woodpecker. Are those my leaves? No, they are my leave squirrel. I spent ages collecting them. No one is taking your leave squirrel. This happened last year. Remember baby, why don't you go back to your nest and try to relax. Ok. Thanks bird.
