PERRI (disney) (6)

" I'll give that wildcat a chase , " a voice said, as a young boy squirrel swung down by his tail.

" Watch me. I'm Porro ! "

Perri was too frightened to watch.
She closed her eyes, shivering, until she heard the hungry wildcat slink off.

" He's gone, " Porro called.
" Come down and we'll have a feast. "

Proudly, he led the way to a hollow log half burried in pine needles.
He showed Perri his store of pine cones and seeds.

" Is this where you and your family live ? " Perri asked in surprise.
After all, the proper place for a home was in a tree.

" Don't have a family. Can't be bothered with a nest, " Porro answered.
" At night I just sleep on a branch of my pine tree."

" Everybody has to have a home, " perri said.
" I intend to build one at once."

But finding a place for a home was not easy.
