ONCE upon a time
there was a little
fat comfortablegrey squirrel,
called
Timmy Tiptoes.

7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay

He had
a nest
thatched with leaves
in the top
of a tall tree;
4
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
5/111
and he had
a little squirrel wife
called Goody.

Timmy Tiptoes
sat out,
enjoying
the breeze;
6
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
7/111
He whisked his tail
and chuckled,
"Little wife Goody,
the nuts are ripe;
we must
lay up a storefor winter and spring.
7

Goody Tiptoes
was busypushing moss
under the thatch.

7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay

"The nest
is so snug,
we shall
be sound asleep
all winter."

-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
10/111
"Then we shall
wake upall the thinner,
when there isnothing to eat
in spring-time,"
replied prudent
Timothy.

11/111
When Timmyand Goody Tiptoes
came
to the nut thicket,
they found
other squirrels
were there already.
11
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
12/111
Timmy took off
his jacket
and hung it
on a twig;
they worked
away quietlyby themselves.
12
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
13/111
Every day
they made
several journeys
and picked
quantities
of nuts.
13
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
14/111
They carried them
away in bags,
and stored them
in several hollowstumps
near the tree
where they
had built their nest.
14
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
15/111
When these stumps
were full,
they began
to empty the bagsinto a hole
high up a tree,
that had belonged
to a wood-pecker.
15
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
16/111
The nuts
rattled down
--down--
down inside.
16
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
17/111
"How shallyou ever get
them out again?
It is like
a money-box!"
said Goody.
17
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
18/111
"I shallbe much thinner
before spring-time,
my love,"
said
Timmy Tiptoes,
peepinginto the hole.
18
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
19/111
They did collect
quantities
--because
they did not
lose them!
19
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
20/111
Squirrels
who bury
their nuts
in the ground
lose more
than half,
20
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
21/111
because
they cannotremember
the place.
21
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
22/111
The most forgetful
squirrel
in the wood
was called
Silvertail.
22
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
23/111
He began to dig,
and he could
not remember.
23
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
24/111
And thenhe dug again
and found some nuts
that did not
belong to him;
andthere was a fight.
24
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
25/111
And other squirrels
began to dig,
--the whole wood
was in commotion!
25
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
26/111
Unfortunately,
just at this time
a flock
of little birds
flew by,
26
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
27/111
from bushto bush,
searchingfor green
caterpillars
and spiders.
27
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
28/111
There were
several sorts
of little birds,
twittering
different songs.
28
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
29/111
The first one sang--
"Who's bin
digging-up
MY nuts?
Who's-been-
digging-upMY nuts?
29
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
30/111
And anothersang
"Little bita breadand-NO-cheese!
Little bit-a-bread
an'-NO-cheese!
30
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
31/111
The squirrels
followed
and listened.
31
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
32/111
The first little bird
flew into the bush
where
Timmyand Goody Tiptoes
were quietlytying up their bags,
32
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
33/111
and it sang
Who's-
bin digging-up
MY nuts?
Who's been
digging-upMY-nuts?
33
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
34/111
Timmy Tiptoes
went on
with his work
without replying;
indeed,
the little bird
did not expectan answer.
34
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
35/111
It was
only singing
its natural
song,
and it meant
nothing at all.
35
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
36/111
But when the other
squirrels
heard that song,
they rushed upon
Timmy Tiptoes
36
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
37/111
and cuffed
and scratched him,
and upset
his bag of nuts.
37
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
38/111
The innocent
little bird
which had caused
all the mischief,
flew away
in a fright!
38
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
39/111
Timmy rolled
over and over,
and then turned
tail and fled
towards his nest,
39
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
40/111
followedby a crowd
of squirrels
shouting:
--"Who's-been
digging-up
MY-nuts?
40
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
41/111
They caught him
and dragged him
up the very
same tree,
41
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
42/111
where there was
the little
round hole,
and they
pushed him in.
42
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
43/111
The hole
was much
too small
for
Timmy Tiptoes'
figure.
43
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
44/111
They
squeezed him in
dreadfully,
it was a wonder
they did not
break his ribs.
44
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
45/111
"We will
leave him here
till he confesses,"
said
Silvertail Squirrel,
and he shoutedinto the hole--
45
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
46/111
Who's-been-
digging-up
MY-nuts?
46
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
47/111
Timmy Tiptoes
made no reply.
47
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
48/111
He had
tumbled down
inside the tree,
upon half a peck
of nuts belonging
to himself.
48
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
49/111
He lay
quite stunned
and still.
49
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
50/111
Goody Tiptoes
picked upthe nut bags
and went home.
50
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
51/111
She made
a cup of tea
for Timmy;
but hedidnt come
anddidnt come.
51
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
52/111
Goody Tiptoes
passed a lonely
and
unhappy night.
52
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
53/111
Next morning
she ventured back
to the nut-bushes
to look for him;
53
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
54/111
but the other
unkind squirrels
drove her away.
54
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
55/111
She wandered
all over the wood,
calling--
55
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
56/111
Timmy Tiptoes!
Timmy Tiptoes!
Oh, where is
Timmy Tiptoes?
56
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
57/111
In the meantime
Timmy Tiptoes
came
to his senses.
57
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
58/111
He found himselftucked up
in a little moss bed,
very much
in the dark,
feeling sore;
58
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
59/111
It seemed to beunder ground.
Timmy coughed
and groaned,
because his ribs
hurted him.
59
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
60/111
There was
a chirpy noise,
and a small striped
Chipmunk
appearedwith a night light,
and hopedhe felt better?
60
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
61/111
It was
most kind
to Timmy Tiptoes.
61
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
62/111
It lent him
its nightcap;
and the house
was full
of provisions.
62
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
63/111
The Chipmunk
explained
that it hadrained nuts
through the top
of the tree.
63
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
64/111
"Besides,
I found
a few buried.
64
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
65/111
It laughed
and chuckled
when it heard
Timmy's story.
65
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
66/111
While Timmy
was confined
to bed,
it enticed him
to eat quantities-
66
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
67/111
-"But
how shall I ever get
out through
that hole
unless I thin myself?
My wifewill be anxious!"
67
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
68/111
"Just another nut
--or two nuts;
let me crackthem for you,"
said the Chipmunk.
68
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
69/111
Timmy Tiptoes
grew fatter
and fatter!
69
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
70/111
Now
Goody Tiptoes
had set to work
again by herself.
70
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
71/111
She did not
put any more nuts
into the
woodpecker's
hole,
71
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
72/111
because
she had always
doubted
how they could
be got out again.
72
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
73/111
She
hid them
under a tree root;
they rattled down,
down,
down.
73
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
74/111
Once when
Goody emptied
an extra big bagful,
there was
a decided squeak;
74
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
75/111
and next timeGoody brought
another bagful,
a little striped
Chipmunk
scrambled
out in a hurry.
75
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
76/111
"Its getting
perfectly full-updown-stairs;
the sitting-room
is full,
and they are rolling
along the passage;
and --
76
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
77/111
my husband,
Chippy Hackee,
has run away
and left me.
77
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
78/111
What is the
explanation
of these
showers of nuts?
78
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
79/111
"I am sure I beg
your pardon;
I did not know
that anybodylived there,"
said Mrs.Goody Tiptoes;
79
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
80/111
but where is
Chippy Hackee?
80
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
81/111
My husband,
Timmy Tiptoes,
has run away too.
81
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
82/111
"I know whereChippy Hackee
is;
a little bird told me,"
said Mrs.
Chippy Hackee.
82
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
83/111
And she led the way
to the woodpecker's
tree,
and they listened
at the hole.
83
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
84/111
Down below
there was
a noise
of nut crackers,
84
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
85/111
anda fat squirrel voice
and
a thin squirrel voice
were singing
together--
85
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
86/111
"My little old man
and I fell out,
Howshall we bring
this matter
about?
86
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
87/111
Bring it about
as well as you can,
And get you gone,
you little old man!
87
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
88/111
"You couldsqueeze in,
through that
little round hole,"
said
Goody Tiptoes.
88
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
89/111
Yes, I could,"
said
the Chipmunk,
but my husband,
Chippy Hackee,
bites!
89
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
90/111
Down below
there was a noise
of cracking nuts
and nibbling;
90
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
91/111
and then
the fat squirrel voice
andthe thin squirrel voice
sang--
91
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
92/111
"For the diddlumday
Day diddle dum di!
Day diddle
diddle dum day!"
92
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
93/111
Then Goody
peeped inat the hole,
and called down
"Timmy Tiptoes!
Oh fie,
Timmy Tiptoes!"
93
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
94/111
And Timmy replied,
"Is that you,
Goody Tiptoes?
Why,
certainly!"
94
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
95/111
He came up
and kissed Goody
through the hole;
but he was so fat
that he could
not get out.
95
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
96/111
Chippy Hackee
was not too fat,
but he did not
want to come;
he stayed
down belowand chuckled.
96
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
97/111
Andso it went on
for a fortnight;
till a big wind
blew off the top
of the tree,
97
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
98/111
and opened up
the hole
and let in the rain.
98
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
99/111
Then
Timmy Tiptoes
came out,
and went home
with an umbrella.
99
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
100/111
ButChippy Hackee
continued
to camp out
for another week,
although it was
uncomfortable.
100
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
101/111
At last
a large bear
came walking
through
the wood.
101
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
102/111
Perhapshe also was
looking for nuts;
he seemed
to be sniffing
around.
102
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
103/111
Chippy Hackee
went home
in a hurry!
103
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
104/111
And whenChippy Hackee
got home,
he found he had
caught a cold
in his head;
104
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
105/111
and
he was more
uncomfortable
still.
105
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
106/111
And now
Timmy and
Goody Tiptoes keep
their nut-store
fastened up
with a little padlock.
106
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
107/111
And whenever
that little bird
sees the Chipmunks,
he sings
107
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
108/111
Who's-bin-digging-up
MY-nuts?
Whos been
digging-up
MY-nuts?
108
-
7/31/2019 Timmy Tiptoes, Beatrix Potter, AutoPlay
109/111
But nobody
ever answers!
