Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in, I was always asked to lend a hand in animal
36 . One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up
37 my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly
38 the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I
39 and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for
40 . It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed,
41 it an orphan(孤儿). Now, the baby was pretty hungry for milk and then left its nest to
42 the neighborhood for help.
I was about to carry it into my
43 when I found several other babies starting to run down the tree from where their nest was. With the first squirrel hid into my
44 , I stood at the base of the tree and was
45 when three more babies ran right down into my hands. Those dear little creatures were so happy to feel safe and
46 ,and they all held each other close in my shirt. I took them home and
47 them bread and milk to eat. The poor starving things went
48 as they swallowed the meal.
I phoned a lady in the next town who
49 a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large 50 surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well
51 to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.
I love that those little girls cared enough about the squirrels to seek out the
52 of the Animal Lady! And I really
53 getting to help the baby creatures. And then the
54 of caring continued
55 the lady with the squirrel shelter took them in. How wonderful to be part of a chain of kindness.
