A simple plan

The plan, you see, was a simple one. After all, Seeless is a squirrel and the itty bitty finchie fella was--well, itty bitty!! Seeless is smart like that and had it all figured out. Until the stupid woodpecker (affectionately known as Sally to us humans) decided to grab a bite to eat....or a peck, whichever it is that woodpeckers do. Sally disturbed Seeless, dontchaknow. Sally did not disturb the itty bitty finchie fella.
But never fear!! Seemore to the rescue of Seeless!! (yeah.......well, Seemore is the cowardly one hiding behind Seeless.......lotsa help HE was!!)
Seemore was kind enough to volunteer to keep watch on the upper branch and encouraged Seeless to go whomp on the itty bitty finchie guy and steal all the goodies. (more proof of Seemore's bravery, huh?)
Sally took off cuz she was full...not because she felt threatened by either of the squirrels. Seemore (the coward) raced off the tree as Sally took flight. And Seeless?
Braved it and went out on the limb.

I wish I could have captured the moment that Seeless twisted around that branch, lost hold and landed on the ground.............and hopped away with an "I meant to do that" bounce.

And the itty bitty finchie fella......didn't budge an inch.
LOL

Are there any questions about why the Brit took pity on the 'poor hungry little squirrels' and opted to put a pile of food for them on the ground?! ROFL

Oh the 'poor' little squirrels :) such a hard life!
Just as well the Brit took pity. (I gues it's ok for squirrels to wait for someone else to make them happy :)
