"Run to the maple tree near the stone wall," said Sammy. "You will see
what Bobby does when he finds his nuts are gone."
So the red squirrels all ran to the maple tree to watch for the gray
squirrels to come to the party.
At last Bobby waked up. And the minute he opened his eyes he thought
of the peanuts.
He skipped down the tree and ran to tell his friends about the party.
"Meet me at the old stone wall," he said. "That is where I am going to
have my party."
So the gray squirrels all ran along to the stone wall.
The red squirrels were in the maple tree, but the gray squirrels did
not see them.
As soon as Bobby came to the stone wall all his friends ran to meet him.
"Follow me," said Bobby. "I will show you the biggest pile of peanuts
you ever saw."
So the gray squirrels skipped along after Bobby.
But when they came to the storehouse they all stopped and looked at the
hole.
Not one peanut could they see.
"I wonder who found my nuts," said Bobby. "I thought I had put them
where they could not be found."
The gray squirrels sat down in a row and looked very sad.
Just then they heard a sound up in the maple tree.
They looked up and saw all the red squirrels laughing.
"Ho, ho, ho!" Sammy was laughing. "That was a good joke. I took your
nuts and hid them in another hole."
"Ho, ho, ho!" all the red squirrels were laughing.
They all laughed again, and then Sammy said, "I will give a peanut
party. Follow me."
Sammy led the red squirrels and the gray squirrels to the place where
he had hidden the nuts.
And what a party they had!
They ate all the nuts they wanted, and then carried some home for
dinner the next day.
