The Truth About The Red Squirrel

This is the day we wrap up this little story about the mean little red squirrel and the brave little chipmunk. We already saw how a cute little red squirrel turned out to be an evil seed hoarder that wouldn't share with her deserving neighbors, especially the brave Chippy the Chipmunk. Chippy tried his best to get the seeds but was driven off every time.

There was a secret to the evil method of the mean red squirrel that was yet to be revealed. Well that's an easy one to reveal. It's simple. I hooked electrodes to her and zapped her a bunch of times to make her mean... Okay, okay, I'm just joking!!! What I really did was hit her over and over with a little stick.

Oh, you still don't believe me? That's because I was lying again. That's why you should never trust a rat. But since I'm only a fake rat I'll go ahead and reveal the real truth as long as you keep reading. Go ahead. It'll be fun.

Take a very close look at her, especially the white part of her fur. What do you see? That's right! Some of you guessed it already. She's not just an angry red squirrel. She's an angry red squirrel that also happens to be a mother, with hungry little babies to feed.

So it appears that the red squirrel was only protecting her own seeds. They were in her territory after all. It was Chippy the chipmunk that was the real bad guy! Chippy was invading her territory after being a glutton and devouring all of his seeds first. Then he set his sights on her seeds too. She was just trying to keep that little varmint at bay.

If you go back and watch the video from yesterday, Rebecca Red Squirrel never once chased the red-winged blackbird away. She was perfectly willing to share when a reasonable request was made for just a few seeds. But Chippy and his hungry hoard wanted to steal all of her seeds away. How else was she going to protect herself and her little ones?

So now you know. The source of Rebecca's evil power was her love for her children. Plus, and I have to say this just to stay honest, red squirrels are some of the feistiest little creatures you might ever meet. It was in her nature twofold to chase away every other critter that threatened her seeds.

This is the end of the story. Most of it was very true. Some of it came from the evil imagination of a fake rat, especially any obnoxious embellishments. All names were changed to protect the innocent, except for Chippy and Rebecca. They have no other names that we humans would understand. The End.
