Sam the Squirrel Tidies Up

Deep in the woodland lived a little, hardworking squirrel called Sam. His favourite thing to do was tidying up when things got messy. He was very proud of gathering anything from the forest floor because he loved to keep it spick and span. Sam would happily clear fallen leaves that covered the roots. He would carefully push aside snapped twigs. He would even dream of organising the pinecones under the stars. What a tidy squirrel he was!
