PERRI (disney) (8)

PERRI (disney) (8)

Even after the nest was mended, Porro was too venturesome to stay in it.



On a midsummer's eve, when the moon was high, Perri looked out from her nest to see an owl perched on a limb.

He was eyeing Porro, who had decided just then to get a drink of water.

" Danger ! " Perri called.

The owl swooped down, and Porro barely had time to escape into his hollow log.
There he stayed, until the owl flew away.

Perri and Porro frolicked and played together through the long summer days.

Tey stored acorns and fresh pine cones in the hollow log, without exactly knowing why.

The flying squirrel was hoarding, too; and grumpy old Scarface, the black squirrel.

The birds began to talk of making journeys.

Perri and Porro hardly listened.

They danced about through the red and gold autumn leaves, their little jaws bulging with nuts to store in the hollow log.
