A Rail Full of CornMy name: ____________A free Peabody book
1

Chatterer the Red Squirrel was thin and hungry.

2

There were no nuts by his new home.

3

So he ran along the old stone wall.

4

He came to Farmer Brown's corn field.

5

Chatterer dug in the leaves. He found corn!

6

He ate and ate. Then he put corn in his cheeks.

7

It was a long way home. He sat on a fence post.

8

One rail was hollow. He saw a little hole.

9

Chatterer chewed the hole. Then it was big.

10

He squeezed in. It was dry inside!

11

"A good place for corn," said Chatterer.

12

He put in his corn. He ran back for more.

13

Soon the rail was full. Winter could come!
