32
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: We are going to start a new series about a

33
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: squirrel named Slicko. Slicko was one of four little squirrels

34
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: that live in a tree. Missus squirrel has been out

35
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: looking for nuts to feed her children when she comes

36
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: jumping into the tree, dropping nuts as she comes. Mister

37
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,959
Speaker 1: squirrel asks her what is wrong, and when she tells him,

38
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: they decide it is time to teach the kids how

39
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: to jump. Slicko the Jumping Squirrel Chapter one. Halfway up

40
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: the side of a tall tree, there was a round

41
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: hole in the trunk. The hole was lined with soft

42
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: dried leaves and bits of white fluffy cotton from the

43
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: milkweed plant. And if you looked very carefully at the hole,

44
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: you might see peering from it a little head like

45
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: that of a very small kitten, and a pair of

46
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: very bright eyes. But it was not a kitten that

47
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: looked from the little hole in the trunk of the tree.

48
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: Kittens can climb trees, but they do not like to

49
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: live in them. They would rather have a warm place

50
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 1: behind the stove with a nice saucer of milk. Now,

51
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: if I tell you that the little creatures who lived

52
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 1: in this hole nest had big fluffy tails, and that

53
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: they could sit up on their hind legs and eat nuts,

54
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: I am sure you can guess what they were. Squirrels.

55
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: That's it. In the nest halfway up the big tree

56
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: in the woods lived a family of gray squirrels. And

57
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: I am going to tell you about them, or rather

58
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: more particularly about one of the little girl squirrels, whose

59
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: name was Slicko. One morning, Missus Squirrel, who had gotten

60
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: up out of the nest early to go and get

61
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: some breakfast for her little ones, came back very quickly,

62
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: jumping from one tree branch to another, and fairly scrambling

63
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: down into the nest where the little boy and girl

64
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: squirrels of her family were still asleep. Why what's the matter,

65
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: missus squirrel, asked mister squirrel in a strange chattering language.

66
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: He and his wife used, Why are you in such

67
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: a hurry this morning? See, you have dropped a lot

68
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 1: of nuts. He looked out over the edge of the

69
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: nest to the ground where he saw some of the

70
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: nuts Missus Squirrel had dropped. She had been bringing them

71
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: home for breakfast. What made you run, so, asked mister squirrel,

72
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: who had stayed home with the little ones while his

73
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: wife went after nuts. Well, I guess you'd have hurried too,

74
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: said the mama squirrel if you saw what I saw?

75
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: What was it? Asked mister squirrel, and he pulled his

76
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: head in from the nest hole, so that if any

77
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: bad animals were down below on the ground they could

78
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: not see him. It was a man with a dog,

79
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: said missus Squirrel. He was out walking, and I'm almost

80
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 1: sure he saw me. My, that would be too bad,

81
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: exclaimed mister squirrel. Do you think he followed you to

82
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: catch you? I hope not, said missus Squirrel. I ran

83
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: as fast as as I could when I saw him.

84
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: But I did hear the dog bark hmm, said mister

85
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: squirrel in his own language. And he seemed as worried

86
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: as your father might be if he heard there was

87
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: a bad animal or a runaway horse coming after you.

88
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: So the man did not see you. I don't think so,

89
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: answered missus Squirrel. But he may be trying to find

90
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: this nest. I will look out and see if he

91
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: is coming, said mister squirrel. Be careful he doesn't see you,

92
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: said missus squirrel. I will, replied her husband. And then

93
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: he carefully, very carefully, peeked out of the hole of

94
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: the nest in the hollow trunk of the tree. Squirrels

95
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: are smarter than we think. So mister squirrel looked out

96
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: to see if he could see a man with a dog,

97
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: but he saw nothing and was glad of it. I

98
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: guess he didn't see which way you went, missus, He

99
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: said to his wife. Now we will give the children

100
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: their breakfast, and then we must begin teaching them their lessons,

101
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: For if men with dogs are to come to our woods,

102
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: it is time our little ones knew how to look

103
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: after themselves and how to hide and jump to safe places.

104
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: I think so too, said missus Squirrel. Wake up, children,

105
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: she cried, Come slicko, hurry up, chatter, come fluffy and

106
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: nutto breakfast is ready. Four little squirrels, two boys and

107
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: two girls, awoke in the tree nest and sat up

108
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: on their hind legs in the soft leaves and cotton.

109
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: They saw the nuts their mother had brought, and at

110
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: once began eating them. That was all they had to

111
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: do to get ready for breakfast. The squirrel children did

112
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: not have to dress, because they wore their fur suits

113
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: all year round, never taking them off in winter. Their

114
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: fur grew much thicker than in summer to keep them warmer.

115
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: The squirrel children did not have to wash themselves in

116
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: the sink. All any of them did was to wet

117
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: one paw with their little red tongue and wipe it

118
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: over their face. Then they were washed. But you wouldn't

119
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: like to do that. I'm sure. Come, children, eat your breakfast,

120
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: said missus Squirrel, and then you are going to have

121
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: a new lesson. A new lesson, chattered Slicko, one of

122
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: the girl squirrels, to her mama, speaking in a language

123
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: that you or I could not have understood. What kind

124
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 1: of lesson is it going to be? You see, the

125
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: squirrel children had been taught how to gnaw open hard

126
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: nuts and to take out the sweet, juicy kernels inside.

127
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: They had been taught how to climb trees and wash

128
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: their faces, but there were many other things for them

129
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: to learn. Slicko was the largest of the squirrel children,

130
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: and she asked the most questions. What is your lesson

131
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: going to be? Mother, Slicko wanted to know. I hope

132
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be a sleeping lesson, said Fluffy, one

133
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: of the boy squirrels. I'm still sleepy, and he yawned

134
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 1: and stretched himself just like a little monkey. Oh, silly, you,

135
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: said his papa. Squirrels should be lively and hop about

136
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: when they wake up in the morning. Come now, if

137
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: you have finished your nuts, your mama and I will

138
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: teach you a new lesson, and one that you must

139
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: learn well, or there may be danger for you. Hah,

140
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid what sort of danger, asked Nutto, the

141
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: other boy squirrel. He was called Nutto because he was

142
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: so fond of eating chestnuts. Oh, I'm afraid, said Chatter.

143
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: The littlest girl squirrel, don't say such scary things. Nutto

144
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: and Chatter looked over the edge of the nest as

145
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: though she might see a big hawkbird swooping down, or

146
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: her papa and mama had told her to always hide

147
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: when a big hawk flew over the woods. But no

148
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: hawk was in sight. Now you are going to have

149
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: some jumping lessons, mister squirrel went on. After you learn

150
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: to jump, I will tell you why, you see. The

151
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Papa squirrel did not want just then to tell the

152
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: little ones about their mama having seen a man with

153
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: a dog, for fear if he did, they might be

154
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: too frightened to come out of the nest and learn

155
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: to jump. But mister squirrel knew there was no danger

156
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 1: nearby just then, at any rate, and he wanted his

157
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: children to be as brave as they could be. Soon

158
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: after the breakfast nuts were eaten, the four little squirrels

159
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: went out on a straight branch that stuck out from

160
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: the tree trunk near the nest. Papa and Mama squirrel

161
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: stood there with them. Now this is the idea, said

162
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,960
Speaker 1: mister squirrel, in his chattering language that you or I

163
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: could not have understood, but which was as plain to

164
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: the little squirrels as a papa dog's language is to

165
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 1: a puppy, or a mama cat's mewing to her little kittens.

166
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: You are all going to learn to jump, mister squirrel.

167
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: What's a jump? Asked Slickle, who, as I have said,

168
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: was always asking questions. She asked more questions than her

169
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: two brothers and her sister together. But Slicko wanted to

170
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: know about things see, exclaimed mister squirrel. This is a jump.

171
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: Now I am on this limb beside you. Now watch

172
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: he gave a little spring or jump through the air

173
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: and landed on the branch of another tree some distance off.

174
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: That is a jump, said mister squirrel. It is getting

175
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 1: from one branch to another without running or walking. It

176
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 1: is a quick way of walking, I suppose you could

177
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: call it. And when you are in a hurry, like

178
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: when someone is chasing you and you have no time

179
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: to run or walk, you must jump. Now, let me

180
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: see you jump down here, just as I did. Come on,

181
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: all of you, yes, go on, said Mama squirrel, who

182
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: was still on the tree limb by the nest. You

183
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: little squirrels must learn to jump. That is the one

184
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: big lesson left for you to learn. Slicko looked at Chatter,

185
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: Luffy looked at Nutto. Then they all looked down at

186
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: their papa on the lower limb. Come on, don't be afraid,

187
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: called mister squirrel. Jump. You won't be hurt. But but

188
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: I am afraid, said Nutto, who you remember had said

189
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: he was not at all frightened. Oh you mustn't be afraid,

190
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: said mister squirrel. There is nothing to hurt you. I'm

191
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: sure you can jump if you try. Give a good

192
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: hard spring and you'll land down here on the limb beside. Besides,

193
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: if you do fall, the ground is covered with soft

194
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: leaves and you won't be hurt. Come on, jump, But

195
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: the little squirrels did not want to. You go first,

196
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: said Nado to Fluffy. No, I'd rather watch you go first,

197
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: spoke Fluffy. Maybe Chatter will go, suggested Nado. The girls

198
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: are not as heavy as we are, and they won't

199
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: be hurt if they fall. One of you boys ought

200
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: to go first, said Slicko. You are always saying you're

201
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: not afraid. You jump first. Nodo and chatter, and I

202
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: will come after you. Oh, I don't want to, said Nodo.

203
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: And there the four little squirrels stood on the limb

204
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: near the nest, each one afraid to jump. There Papa

205
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 1: stood waiting for them, and he kept thinking that if

206
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: a man and his dog should come along, then the

207
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: little squirrels would be in danger of being seen if

208
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: they did not know how to jump out of the

209
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: way and hide. Come on, you must learn to jump,

210
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: called missus squirrel. Slicko took a long, deep breath. After all,

211
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: though she did ask a number of questions, Slicko was

212
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: rather brave. I'm going to jump, she said that a

213
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: girl ride her father. Come on, jump down here beside me.

214
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Slicko moved over close to the edge of the tree branch. Then,

215
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: with another long, deep breath, such as a person takes

216
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: before they die when they are swimming, Slicko jumped from

217
00:16:53,640 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: the tree branch. She found herself sailing through the air. First,

218
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: she was greatly frightened. She spread out her tail and

219
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: then she found that she was floating through the air,

220
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 1: almost as gently as a bird's feather. Her tail helped

221
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 1: her to fall gently, for it was just like a

222
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: big open umbrella and held her up as the parachute

223
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: holds up the person who jumps from a balloon. There go, Slicko,

224
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: cried her. Mama, Slicko is learning to jump, down, down, down,

225
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: through the air, went Slicko, the jumping squirrel. Would she

226
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: land on the tree branch beside her father? Slicko certainly

227
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 1: hoped so, But still it was her first jump. And

228
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: that is the end of this part, the good night

229
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: leap tight times so and it goes aside, and it

230
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: goes aside, and it goes sick
