True Colors

There was a very pretty little robin nesting outside the window of our cabin. It was very neat to watch her move in, check out the real estate, and then start her family. My family was very interested in her success and well being--though she kept a very watchful eye on us. However, a demon squirrel raided her nest after a couple weeks, and ate all her eggs. Now she is gone. . . heartbroken.

I've always liked squirrels before this, sure they can be annoying and loud, but I've found their chattering and capering about. . . cute? (Can I use that word?) Anyway, now I see them for what they are. . . thiefs and devils. I wish to hang one of those bushy little tails from the cabin window to show the robin that her children have been avenged.
