The Great American Road Trip: A Squirrel’s Tale
When a peanut-butter-loving squirrel takes the wheel, chaos and laughter follow on an unforgettable cross-country adventure!
It was a sunny Saturday morning in Kansas when Jake decided to embark on a road trip to California in his beat-up RV, lovingly named "Old Faithful." Jake wasn’t alone—his sidekick, a peanut-butter-obsessed squirrel named Rocky, was perched on the dashboard, munching on a stolen Pop-Tart.
As Jake cruised down the highway, blasting his favorite country playlist, Rocky suddenly leaped onto the steering wheel.
“Rocky! What are you doing?” Jake yelled, swerving wildly.
Rocky squeaked, holding up an empty peanut butter jar. Jake sighed. "We’ll stop at the next gas station, okay? Just sit down!"
At the gas station, things took a turn. While Jake was inside grabbing snacks, Rocky decided to take the wheel—literally. The RV roared to life and started rolling. Jake sprinted out, screaming, "Rocky, nooo!"
The RV veered into the parking lot of a drive-thru burger joint, where Rocky discovered the speaker. Customers were baffled as a squirrel started chittering into the microphone.
"Sir, would you like fries with that?" the cashier asked, confused.
By the time Jake caught up, Rocky was in the driver’s seat with a cheeseburger in hand and a small crowd cheering him on. Jake grabbed the wheel, muttering, “This is why I can’t take you anywhere!”
The rest of the trip was just as chaotic—Rocky hijacked a beach volleyball game in Arizona, photobombed tourists at the Grand Canyon, and nearly got arrested in Vegas after stealing shiny poker chips.
When they finally reached California, Jake collapsed on the beach, exhausted. Rocky sat beside him, holding a tiny coconut drink he’d somehow acquired.
“Next time, we’re flying,” Jake groaned. Rocky squeaked in agreement—before dashing off to chase a seagull.

The existence of a woman
When I see my mother and think of my sister I wonder what kind of creation my Lord is. Sometimes she is angry, sometimes she is pleased. Sometimes she is silent, sometimes she speaks. When I enter the house I have only one question: "Where is mother?" Why is that? Because she is the one who gives me food she is the one who will know whether I have eaten or not. I have tried to put this same thought into writing. My Lord created this world but first He prepared a map of it. In this map there were mountains, rivers and the sky... There was something in it but everything was silent. Then my Lord created a woman to fill it with color.
