Two squirrels were scampering through the trees,
Amid the branches and green leaves,
When they both heard below a sound,
And saw two hunters down on the ground,
The first squirrel said, "we best be quiet,
Because some humans, like a squirrel meat diet."
"But I am not a squirrel," the other replied,
"So I have no need, to run and hide."
The first squirrel had not a word to say,
He was too busy running, trying to get away,
"A squirrel!" yelled out, then roar of a gun,
The other squirrel followed, through the trees did run,
Came a second yell, "there goes another one."
There rang out a second roar, from the other hunter's gun.

Two squirrels lay dying on the ground, their lives both nearly done,
The second one said, "See, I am not a squirrel, for I am another one."
