Two Little Squirrels

By Mahala Palmer Hunt

(A finger play)

Two little squirrels, frisky and bright,

Gather up nuts for a long winter’s night.

They look under a leaf and under a twig.

They find nuts that are little and nuts that are big.

They poke them all down in a hole in the ground.

And push them far back where they cannot be found.

Then, when the snow covers the earth like a cap,

They both settle down for a long, pleasant nap.
