So Mr. and Mrs. Squirrel set up house under the roof of the cottage. They stored all their nuts and things up there. However, there was one small problem. Mrs. Squirrel was a busy creature. She woke up early every morning to make sure that all the children were fed, bathed, dressed, and ready for the day. Sometimes, Mrs. Squirrel would scold her poor husband late at night. He would then scurry off to another part of the cottage to get some sleep.
