The little squirrels looked around the cottage with delight. When they came to the basket, it seemed like a wonderful thing for them to play in. They put their noses inside it. They turned over the scissors and the packet of needles. They took a nibble at her white thread. They played with spools and thimbles. As they played, they stored the corn bits on either side of their mouths. They both had huge lumps in their cheeks.
