When I opened the door to the house Paul said,"You should go inside and ask Mom if she wants you to do any chores."
"Okay," I said. I went inside the house and questioned, "Do you need me to do any chores?"
"You can take the garbage out, do the dishes, and do the laundry," replied Mom.
"Okay, Mom," I said. Then I went over to the garbage. I took it out of the garbage can and went outside to put it in the trash can. I stopped dead in my tracks. I saw a rust-brown baby squirrel running around in circles in front of my feet. I ran to the garbage can and thrust the garbage bag into it and ran it to the curb. Then I ran inside, being careful not to step on the squirrel. When I got inside I exclaimed, "I JUST SAW A BABY SQUIRREL IN THE FRONT YARD!!!"
"Slow down!" shouted Mom.
I slowed down to my regular speed and reported, "I just saw a baby squirrel in the front yard!"
"Oh, then show me!" Mom exclaimed, no longer confused.
"Okay," I said. Then I went outside with Mom when I screamed, "STOP!!!"
"What!?" Mom said as she stopped dead in her tracks.
"You almost stepped on the squirrel!" I declared, a little bit annoyed at the fact she didn't notice.
"Oh," She retorted as she looked down at the squirrel.
Then we went inside to call the animal shelter.
"Hmmmm, okay I guess that will work," Mom replied to the lady on the phone, then she hung up. Then Mom ordered, "Go outside and get the squirrel and get in the car," as she handed me an empty box.
"Okay, but can't we keep the squirrel?" I questioned curiously.
"No, we don't have enough room," Mom replied. After I took the squirrel to my mom's car and got in, we started to drive to the Pizza Place. When we got there we noticed she was already there.
The shelter lady smiled as she looked in the box and said,"The squirrel looks like it's four weeks old and can't open its eyes."
"Cool," I said as I handed her the box. After she took the squirrel we headed home.
"You can take the garbage out, do the dishes, and do the laundry," replied Mom.
