Autumn has arrived and squirrels are in "hoarding" mode. Moving nuts, hiding food 🥜🌰, running around..
"They are busy with their winter preparations, and quietly healed my autumn."

(19/31) "The light of a beautiful morning woke the little squirrel, and she quickly peeked out the window to see the yellow fields shining like gold in the morning light. In the distance, a bit of fog hugged the ground, but the rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees said it all: it would be a wonderful, sunny day! The rain had passed!"

"That night, the little squirrel went to sleep filled with excitement: her first autumn festival! She felt some fear that the rain she now heard outside would last until the next day and the festival would be cancelled. However, she was too tired to keep imagining what the next day would be like. Even though she couldn't completely avoid it, as in her dreams tall sycamores, chestnuts, and oaks danced while their leaves fell like reddish and yellow rain."

(17/31) "In her mind, humans were like what we would think of as a huge troll or monster. Grandma Squirrel told her that not all humans were bad or careless; some were kind and even gave seeds and food to the birds and other animals in the forest during the winter months. For the little squirrel, it was hard to imagine a human being nice, but she believed her grandma's words."

"Her hair bristled just thinking about humans. The little squirrel saw them all the time in the park, but they were so big, carefree, and frightening. Some left strange plastic and paper things on the grass, and Daddy Squirrel always told her not to eat those things. The most terrifying ones were the short, loud ones that ran after the pigeons. Although she didn’t feel sorry for the pigeons, they always got too close to the humans and never stopped talking."

I know, it is sooo late for the Artober (it started on October 1st!), but the story will have a lovely end, I promise!
"It was time to start the preparations, Grandma Squirrel told her granddaughter, and she took the little squirrel to the kitchen. There, she quickly pulled out all the ingredients she needed to bake cookies. Grandma Squirrel told the little squirrel that she learned to make them by watching a group of humans who lived near the forest."
