The poor little squirel was afraid to leave home when his twin sister left when they were big enough to leave the home tree.

His sister was not afraid to leave, but he was, until a storm started and his home tree broke and he had to leave. While he was floating around his sister was caught in the river that overflowed and he helped her get out.

So0n they found trees that were near each other and they lived happy ever after!

Very cute story for younger children!
