[00:11.23]Ken borrowed a book of fairy tales from the school library.

[00:16.51]It took him a few days to read it.

[00:20.17]After he had finished it.Anne asked him,"How do you like the book?"

[00:26.83]"Very interesting,"said Ken.

[00:31.09]"Which story do you like best?"

[00:35.45]"The Foolish Squirrel."

[00:39.21]"What's it about?"

[00:42.74]"Let me tell you."Then Ken told Anne the story:

[00:48.61]"Once there was a little squirrel.

[00:52.69]He was naughty and conceited.

[00:57.23]He would not listen to what his mother and father told him.

[01:02.22]One day he ran away from his parents.

[01:07.08]He said he was very clever and had learned everything.

[01:13.25]But winter came.It snowed and froze.

[01:19.49]The little squirrel felt very cold and hungry.

[01:24.35]At last he went back to his parents.

[01:28.89]They were eating nuts and acorns from a hole in the ground.

[01:34.54]The little squirrel begged his parents to let him come back.

[01:39.68]His parents forgave him and let him eat with them.

[01:45.25]"How did you find all these nuts and acorns? "he asked.

[01:51.02]His father said,"We stored them away for the winter.

[01:56.17]All wise squirrels do it.

[02:00.53]That is what we were trying to teach you when you ran away."

[02:05.57]Then the little squirrel knew how silly he had been.

[02:10.53]"That's a good story indeed,"Anne said.

[02:16.91]"Will you be the naughty and conceited squirrel?"

[02:21.77]"Of course not!"Ken laughed.

[02:45.51]But I have never seen him.
