The Adventures of Rebecca
Squirrel
"Rebecca's First Adventure"
Written By:

With so many
beautiful sites to see,
Traveling seemed to be limited to trees.
Rebecca climbed to the tallest in the yard,
And saw a view that should have been a postcard.
Wanting so much to have more than a peek,
She decided she would play hide and seek.
She would sneak out of her nest while her mother was asleep,
Hoping that she would not make a peep.
Time would pass before mother squirrel would know to look,
By then Rebecca could be past the forest and the brook.
Night time fell and out she crept,
Slowly and quietly as her mother slept.
At the bottom of the tree she hid a sack,
Full of nuts and berries she had gathered to pack.
It was time to go, she was on her way.
Off on an adventure, shere shed travel to, she could not say.
Rebecca made her way down the road and reached the forests
edge,
She took a giant step forward and slipped down a small ledge.
She took off the dirt and stod with a pose,
She heard amazing noises and smells that tickled her nose.
She past bushes, rocks, trees, and flowers.
It felt as though she had been there for hours.
As she neared the brook's edge, she came to a log,
She heard "ribbit" and new it must have been a
frog.
The frog said, "Hello, whats your name? My name is
Jilly".
The squirrel said, "My name is Rebecca, but my friends call
me Becca Boo".
The frog said, "Thats just silly!"
Rebecca and Jilly would have talked until dawn,
When all of a sudden, she heard her mother yelling.
"Oh no," She said to Jilly. "My mother knows I am
gone!"
She said "goodbye" to Jilly and said that shed see her
soon.
Maybe she could go on an adventure with her the next time she
sees the big, bright moon.
Mother Squirrel threw out her arms and drew Rebecca near.
Mother said, "I was out of my mind with worry! I was scared
and sad my dear!"
Rebecca told of her adventure as they headed back to their
nest.
"Im awfully sleepy," Rebecca said, "I think i need
some rest".
Mother Squirrel said as she tucked Rebecca in tight,
"The next time you want to go on an adventure, please go
there in your dreams. I love you,
goodnight!"
