The Hungry Squirrel

The Hungry Squirrel

Early one morning near the edge of the forest a tiny squirrel was foraging for nuts.

While high above him a giant hawk was circling for food. The squirrel sensed something.               

He lifted his tail and slowly raised his head. Danger! He caught a glimpse of a giant hawk.

His fur stood on end. He was very frightened. His eyes widened and he spread his legs       ready to run.

The hawk’s had yellow eyes and has a yellow beak.

Then hawk saw the squirrel. The squirrel darted up a tree but the hawk found him so he speed into the forest.  The hawk  spotted him.

The hawk grabbed him by his bushy tail but he scratched the hawk’s foot and the squirrel fell into a tree. He watched the hawk fly away. Then continued foraging for nuts.
