The Clever Squirrel

In a sunny little village, where flowers danced and birds chirped, lived a clever squirrel named Sammy. Sammy loved to play, but he also knew how to be safe! He always looked both ways before crossing the path and made sure to avoid slippery branches.

One day, Sammy found a juicy acorn but noticed a big puddle nearby. “Oh no! I must be careful!” he thought. By being wise and cautious, Sammy prevented a big splash!
