He pulled out the kind of plum he liked best of all. It was a peanut.
He pulled out one peanut, and then he pulled out another.
"This bag is full of peanuts," he said to himself. "There are so many
here I can never eat them all."
[Illustration: "This bag is full of peanuts."]
"I know what I can do. I can have a party."
Now squirrels must like to have parties just as well as little boys and
girls.
Because when Bobby thought of the party he jumped up and down and
clapped his hands.
Then he started off to invite all the other gray squirrels.
But he stopped when he reached the top of the wall.
He had just thought that some one might come while he was away and find
the peanuts.
"I will hide them in the wall," he said to himself. "Then they will be
out of sight."
So Bobby jumped down again and began to carry the nuts to a safe place.
It took so long, and Bobby worked so hard that he had to go back home
to take a nap when he had finished.
