The Case of the Whispering Acorn

Two baby squirrels on a high oak branch cannot sleep. They hear a strange whispering sound coming from under the tree and wave to Mimi. Mimi wiggles her gold bell and whispers - Let me go check

Mimi tiptoes over the dry brown leaves under the great tree. She leans her ear close to the wet soil to listen carefully. She hears a tiny sweet lullaby singing softly in the night wind

Under a large dry brown leaf, Mimi finds a hollow acorn shell lying quietly. She looks closely through her cardboard magnifying glass. Two tiny eyes peek out from the dark acorn hole at the kind kitten

A tiny green cricket is trapped inside the hollow shell by a heavy leaf. Mimi gently slides the leaf away with her soft paw. The little cricket jumps out onto the grass and whispers - Thank you

The baby squirrels hear no more whispering sounds and curl up to sleep on their soft branch. Mimi wiggles her gold collar bell and runs back to her cozy home under the bright crescent moon
