"What's a balloon?" asked Slicko, as she combed out her tail with a chestnut burr. Squirrels always use chestnut burrs for combs. "A balloon is something that goes up in the air," answered Squinty, "and it has bags of sand in it." "Well, I can go up in the air, when I climb a tree," went on Slicko, with a jolly laugh. "Am I a balloon?" "No, you are not," said Squinty.
I can't chew hickory nuts! Have you no other kind?" "Oh, yes, I know where there are some acorns," answered Slicko, "but I do not care for them as well as for hickory nuts." "Oh, please show me the acorns," begged Squinty. "Here they are," spoke Slicko, jumping a little farther, and she pointed to a pile of acorns in another hollow stump. "Oh, these are fine!
"I never heard of sour milk," replied the girl squirrel. "But I know where to find some nuts. Do you like hickory nuts?" "I I guess so," answered Squinty, thinking, perhaps, they were like acorns. "Please show me where there are some." "Come on!" chattered Slicko. She led the way through the woods, leaping from one tree branch to another over Squinty's head.
"A balloon is very different." "Well, I know where there is some sand," spoke Slicko. "I could get some of that and put it in leaf-bags. Would that make me a balloon?" "Oh, no, of course not," Squinty answered. "You could never be a balloon. But if you know where there is some sand perhaps you know where there is some sour milk. I am very hungry."
