| When Gopher Joe realized the Ground Squirrels could not scare the Gardener away, he called on Rex Raven to help him.
"Rex, could you help me scare the Gardener away? Could you fly close to her when she�s working and screech as loudly as possible in her ears? If you do, I�ll share some yummy treats with you after we Ground Squirrels take over the Park." "Well... yes," said Rex after he thought about it a while. "I'll do it if I get some cookies and potato chips... and maybe some hot dogs." "Okay, let�s do it," Joe said hopefully. -from page 30 |
