Jabber The Squirrel

Each squirrel had a little sack and a large oar, and spread out his tail for a sail.

They also took with them an offering of three fat mice as a present for Old Brown, and put them down upon his door-step. Then Jack and the other little squirrels each made a low bow, and said politely-

"Old Mr. Brown, will you favour us with permission to gather nuts upon your island?"
