They joined Chip at the top of the jungle gym. When they were all looking down on the party, Chip pointed his little squirrel finger. "There!" he shouted. A fluffy squirrel was lying on its side with all the other gifts. It wasn't moving. "Why doesn't he run away?" cried Elliot. "Maybe they stepped on him. Maybe he's injured! I don't know!" said Chip. Just then the boy with the red hair and all the freckles picked up the squirrel. "Run away! Run away!" yelled Twitch. But the fluffy squirrel didn't move. "That child must have a grip of steel," said Chip. Then-to everyone's surprise-the squirrel began to speak. The boy was pressing the squirrel's tiny ear. He was making it speak! "Hello!
