Murrel The Squirrel
by Rosa

There once was a squirrel named Murrel who found a large pearl
She decided to wear it round her neck
She ran around to show it to all
but all she found was Jack

"Look Jack!" said Murrel the squirrel

"I have found a real pearl and I wear it round my neck!"
Jack the squirrel looked at the pearl
"It isn't yours," he said "It belongs to that girl!"

Murrel looked up and saw a crying girl
She hopped to the girl with the pearl safely round her neck
"Little girl" said Murrel the squirrel "Is this your pearl?"
"Yes" nodded the girl "Can I have it back dear squirrel?"

The squirrel said yes and undid the pearl
Her neck was now bare but the girl did a twirl
Thank you dear squirrel said the girl
She gave Murrel a kiss and left in a bliss

Now Murrel the squirrel is left without pearl
but she is ever so happy for that sweet girl
If you pass a squirrel just wait half a sec and see
It may be Murrel, the sweetest squirrel, up in that high tree.
