Christine of Stine Writing and Miniatures is our host for the Tuesday Simply 6 Minutes challenge.
The picture below is of a squirrel with his head in some sort of feeder, like he is looking for something.
Bill decided Hide and Seek was no fun.
Especially when it was HIS nuts that were hiding.
True to his breed, Bill had squirrelled away his surplus gatherings, and sadly also true to his breed, had forgotten where.
It was embarrassing. Why hadn’t he drawn a map? X marks the spot of the treasure and all that. But no, squirrels don’t use pad and pen, instead they have to hunt for their hoards.
He thought he’d struck gold in a leaf pile, only to be chased off by some pesky canine retrieving his ball, which was definitely not a large nut.
Bill was getting hungry and decided to turn his attention elsewhere.
Everyone should have a varied diet shouldn’t they? So what if nuts were off the menu today. There was always something else you can try, and he was up for it.
There was a McDonald’s down the road and there was bound to be something lying around as Man didn’t always put their trash in the bin!

Really comical and quite scientifically accurate. I love when that happens. ❤
I can remember seeing two or three squirrels diving through McD’s dumpsters looking for food.
My 10-year-old granddaughter is a budding writer. I recently pointed out that she should pay attention to little things she sees because come in handy when writing stories. You just confirmed that advice. ❤
Good point. I love to have imaginary animal conversations too.
Great tale, I’d be a goner if I was a squirrel 🤣
Maggie rolled one once and got a clout on the nose for her trouble. Boy, did it bleed and the squirrel wasn’t very impressed either!
Hehe! The squirrels that hang out at McDonald’s are much fatter than the one in the photo!
Better pickings!
Good idea
Thanks
My pleasure
OMG the squirrels are evolving 💜
Haha!!
I hope Bill eventually finds his Happy Meal.
🙂
A squirrel eating macdonalds, now that would be a cute sight to see!
I’ve seen it Carol Anne.
I do know they love McDonald’s french fries as I have tossed a few to some when I am traveling and have stopped for a bite. Funny though, I was just commenting on Carol anne’s blog about how I heard that squirrels hide their food but then can never find it. I guess I was right about that!
I think this is true too. They have so many stashes, they just can’t remember.
Reblogged this on Stine Writing and commented:
Di thinks this guy might head to McDonalds!
Thanks Christine!
