Hearing a strange noise coming from a hole in the trunk of the tree, Bill climbed up to look in. Two cunning baby squirrels were inside, crying for their mother. A hunter had shot her and left the babies to die. Each of the boys tucked a baby squrrel in his jacket pocket and carried it home. There the boys made a soft bed in a box for little animals, and fed them warm milk from a tiny nursing bottle. The squirrels soon grew round and fat. Bill and Tom were proud of their pets. 1.
