Big Tail Little Squirrel

The little squirrel Ash has a huge tail that looks bigger than its whole body. This big tail brings Ash a lot of trouble, every time it rains, once the tail gets wet, it becomes very heavy, and it is a very troublesome thing to dry the tail. This alone is already very annoying to Ash, but the most headache it has to be the tail for the work of the hindrance.

Every morning, Ash would go out with other squirrels to collect fruit. These little guys would dart between the trees, sometimes jumping from tree to tree, sometimes weaving back and forth between the poles and branches, as if they were little elves in the forest. However, among these flexible figures, there is one that always seems to be dragging its feet, and that is the little gray with a big tail.

Ash's big tail, a while stuck in between the branches, a while the good quality of the fruit knocked down to the tree, a while to block the view of others, and once even caused it to fall from the tree to the ground, making other squirrels sneer at it, laughing at it has a big tail in the way.

Even so, Ash will still insist on working with everyone every day, it will try not to cause trouble for others, but still inevitably attract the eyes of other squirrels, which makes Ash more and more dislike their big tail.

One day the weather was very bad, the forest was blowing a big wind, the wind blew the leaves to the sky, blew the branches to a mess, and blew the tree pole to bend down. The squirrels were hiding at home and didn't dare to go out, thinking that they would go out to find food after the wind had stopped, but the wind was blowing harder and harder, and there was no intention to stop.

But the little gray bravely went out to pick fruit. It carefully held the branch slowly moving, the wind blowing it can not lift its head, blowing on the body like being whipped general pain, but it has no intention of giving up, if this time choose to go home empty-handed, it will always despise themselves.

As the wind swept, many of the fruit on the tree were damaged, the little gray had to go further away, hoping to find some intact fruit. At this time the wind suddenly blew violently, and blew the whole person to the sky.

Ash was so scared that he closed his eyes and shrunk into a ball, thinking that if this fell to the ground will certainly not be saved, but after half a day there is no feeling of falling. Ash slowly opened his eyes and found himself floating in mid-air, it was his big tail that did the trick. The tail is like a parachute, greatly slowed down the speed of the little gray fall, if the wind blows again, but also to fly higher. In this way, the little gray safe through the thrilling day.

From this day onwards, in addition to collecting fruits with other squirrels as usual, Ash would find a place where there was no one to practice his tricks when other squirrels were playing. Until one day, Ash appeared from the air in front of everyone, the squirrels only knew that Ash's tail had such a powerful function.

Some of the squirrels were very unconvinced and said, "What's the use of being able to fly, can you pick more fruits?"

Ash proudly said, "I can help you find more fruit from the air, and can also help you warn of danger."

So, under Ash's command, the squirrels took less time than usual to collect more fruits, and just when everyone was happy, from mid-air came Ash's alarm -

"The eagle is coming, everyone run!"

Everyone immediately stopped the work in hand, the quick reaction has been hiding in the nearby tree holes, there are some squirrels who have not yet reacted still frozen in place, do not know what to do.

In order to buy time for other squirrels to escape, the little gray bravely flew to the eagle's body. The eagle took a look at the food and tried to grab Ash with its claws. Ash relied on their own skilled flying skills, easily dodged the eagle's attack. The eagle could not catch the little gray, anxiously flapping wings to chase up, but it fanned the wind and let the little gray fly faster, the eagle grabbed half a day did not catch the shadow of the little gray, and when it wanted to give up the little gray to catch other squirrels, has long been unable to see half a person. So the eagle had to leave in disgrace.

In this way, the little gray became a big hero of the squirrels, the forest everywhere in the story of the "flying squirrel".
