The Tale of Sandy Chipmunk

"The Tale of Sandy Chipmonk," is from the neat, frolicsome series of illustrated animal stories called "Sleepy-Time Tales." When Sandy Chipmunk was just a little chap his mother began to teach him to take care of himself. She told him that among other enemies he must always watch out for foxes and minks and weasels-especially weasels. "They are very dangerous," Mrs. Chipmunk said. "Well, I'll always be safe if I climb a tree-won't I?" Sandy asked her. "Goodness, no!" his mother replied. "There are many big birds-such as hawks and owls and eagles-that would catch you if they could.... But I'll tell you about them some other time, Sandy."
