Tale 19 - Squirreling it Away

Deep in the Galloway Forest, George and Sam were doing a bit of wildlife spotting.
They’d seen a jay walking and a peckish woodpecker, when Sam who’s always thought of himself as King of the Tufties, spotted something even tuftier.
“Look” cried the crestfallen Sam – “there’s a ruby with the tuftiest ears I’ve ever seen – I’ll no longer be top tufty”. “Don't talk nuts” barked George, at which the little tufty hightailed it away.

Tale 20 - A Word in Your Ear

George is just back from a tour across the water, lecturing on arts and crafts - drawing on all his years of experience in this field.
His pupil Perry, was very pea-green in the art of stealing and the craft of getting away with it.
A word in his ear, and a demonstration of how to pick a pocket, and how to mount a table was part of the course, which I hear Perry passed with flying colours and put into practice the very next day by making a real exhibition of himself.
