The King of the Forest Prepares
This is a forest. Forest is another name for the woods.
The forest is very calm and peaceful. It doesn’t look like there is much happening in the forest.
But there is something happening: in the forest, the king is preparing. He is getting a lot of nuts for the coming winter.
He is finding nuts, so that he can eat during the long, cold winter.
He is putting the nuts in many different places.
The winter is coming, and food does not grow in the winter. This is why it is important for the king to prepare.
This king of the forest is not a deer. The deer is fast, but it is not smart.
The king of the forest is not a fox. The fox is smart, but cannot climb.
This king of the forest is not a mountain lion. The mountain lion can climb, but it cannot jump like the king.
No, this king is very small. He is in this picture. Can you see him?
The king of the forest is a squirrel!
He does whatever he wants, and he tells the other animals what to do. He is fast, smart, can jump and climb!
He watches everyone, and makes sure things are going well.
He eats a lot of acorns. This king eats very well.
And he climbs trees very well, too. The king travels through the forest very quickly.
He watches over the whole forest, and the other animals respect him.
But winter is coming, so he has to eat. This is very important for him to live.
“Hey! Give me that acorn!” the king yells.
“That is my acorn!”
“Thank you! Is this an acorn or a peanut? It is very good!”
