The squirrels are back for another #squirrelsunday
The king squirrel is safe in the tree with the last walnut on earth. He eats it there full of pride in front of all the other rodent characters.
The wise old turtle warns him from the swamp that pride cometh before the fall. You'd better watch your back with the last walnut of the year my dude!
Soon advanced thieves start converging on the location of the king squirrel and his prized treasure. Old Blackmouth is expert at cat burglar operations... After all he was raised by cats.
The there is Swift Shadow who is expert at using shade to mask his movements before snatching treasured walnuts.
Little Cheap is good at organizing thieves together. He hatches a plot to use Old Blackmouth and Swift Shadow to tag team the king squirrel.
Little Cheap tells Swift Shadow to make himself conspicuous so that the king squirrel will notice him and be distracted long enough for Old Blackmouth to strong arm his way to the walnut.
I see you over there!!! This walnut is still mine you peasant! Suddenly from the side Old Blackmouth knocks the walnut away and it falls to the ground... Little Cheap was there to steal it before it even hit the ground. Off he runs to hide it.
Now the kind squirrel is on the ground trying to find his walnut. Where oh where did it fall...
It seems the old turtle was right, he should have been less conspicuous with his last walnut. Now he has been demoted to a peasant himself searching in vain for walnuts to store for the winter. Meanwhile Little Cheap is hiding out from Old Blackmouth and Swift Shadow as he didn't split the loot evenly as promised.
The wise old turtles invite the former king squirrel to their swamp to eat duckweed with them before winter hits. Perhaps they can teach these swift squirrels some lessons in morality to enhance their longevity.
That's all for now, thanks for looking :-)
