Scraggy-Tail Squirrel's Missing Walnuts Peter Matthews

Scraggy-tail squirrel, was named Scraggy-tail because his tail was not as fluffy as his brothers and sisters; so his mother made him stay at home until the day he grew the fur just like other squirrels had. Scraggy-tail decided that he would go out and pick up his pile of walnuts, that he had hidden the day before; so that his mother could bake him his favorite cake. He so loved walnut cake, and every time Scraggy-tail took some nuts home, his mother would bake his one. Today though Scraggy-tail had a shock of his life, as when he got to the walnut tree; all of his nuts had vanished. Now a shocked Scraggy-tail decided to visit all of his farmyard friends, and ask them if they had seen his pile of walnuts. Would he ever find who took his pile of nuts? and where was that lovely smell of home baking coming from.
