Read the selection below.

The trees were red, so Squirrel began picking up nuts.

“Squirrel,” said Red Hen, “you’re very smart. When
winter comes, you’ll have lots to eat.”
“Thank you,” said Squirrel. Squirrel boasted to
Chipmunk, “I’m smart! I’m smart!” Then Squirrel began
racing around, burying his nuts as fast as he could.
The rains came. Then the snow fell. Squirrel dug under
the trees for his nuts. But where were they? Squirrel couldn’t
remember.
“Next year, make a map in your head,” said Chipmunk.
“I think they’re between the big rocks,” said Red Hen.
“Oh, thank you, Red Hen,” said Squirrel. “How did you
remember?”
“Shh!” said Red Hen. “That’s where I hide my eggs!
Don’t tell Farmer Brown!”
