Sammy the Clever Squirrel

In a little town, there lived a clever squirrel named Sammy. Sammy loved to collect acorns, but he noticed that his pile was getting too big!

One sunny day, he decided to reduce his acorn stash. He shared them with his friends, the birds and the rabbits.

“Look how happy they are!” Sammy squeaked.

By reducing his acorns, he made room for new adventures and learned that sharing is caring.
