LESSON 37

UNIT 19 A problem with squirrels LESSON 37 Did you see my new bird feeder, Annie? Yes, I did. I saw it last week. Well, I bought it because of the label. It said, ‘This bird feeder is squirrel-proof. ' Yes, you told me that. Well, I brought it home. I put lots of nuts in it. And I hung it outside the kitchen window.

That night, a squirrel broke into the ‘squirrel-proof’ bird feeder. It ate all the nuts. The squirrel’s tummy became enormous. Oh, no! Don't tell me! The next day, I went into the kitchen. What did I see? A dead squirrel in my bird feeder, outside my kitchen window! That's awful! What did you do? I cut it down, and put it in a bag. Then I took it back to the shop. They gave me my money back. But what's the use of that? I wanted a squirrel-proof bird feeder, and I haven't got one!
