Further Adventures of Squirrel Nutkin
After this, Squirrel Nutkin was rather put out at the discourteous invasion of his privacy. The tapping and the peeking and the flashing lights. Assai!!
Checking the window a couple days later, we found this:
He had ripped the leaves off of the ivy vines, and woven them together to create an impenetrable wall between us.
Now when we tap on the window, we just see a little tail swishing annoyedly.
A few days later, he came to our dining room window, perhaps as a gesture of reconciliation. He gazed in at the window, making little sniffy faces as I put my hand on the window opposite his paw. This pseudo-handshake expressed our mutual goodwill toward each other, as well as the desire to continue our acquaintance.
Wishing to further restore neighborly relations, the following peace offering has been given.
Judging by the rapidity in which this offering was disposed, as well as subequent peeps into the window, there has been a full restoration of amiability on all sides.
The moral?
Ivy fences make good neighbors.
