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!

Eventually, the little squirrel was exhausted after all his hard work so he decided to take a rest. He scurried over to find a soft, leafy patch to curl up on. Then, Sam the squirrel realised that he had tidied away every leaf, twig, flower and bush. There wasn’t anything left! It was a quiet, empty place. Sam felt sadness creep over his heart but he knew what he needed to do.

He even shaped the soil into soft mounds so everything was back to how it was. By the time he was finished, his heart was full. What a lovely woodland it had become again! Sam the squirrel grew to love it, even if it wasn’t always tidy.
