Peter and Benjamin looked for the missing nuts.
Timmy gathered new ones.
"The squirrels are very busy," Peter said.
"They are gathering lots of nuts."
"Winter is coming," Benjamin said.
"They need—"
"Hey!" A squirrel suddenly shouted.
"Look at my pile!" a second squirrel cried.
"Who stole my nuts?" a third squirrel yelled.
More squirrels came running.
One squirrel shouted at Timmy Tiptoes.
"Did you steal our nuts?" she cried.
"No!" Timmy said.
"Someone took some of my nuts too.
There is a nut thief!"
The squirrels shouted back and forth.
Just then Peter spotted a fat squirrel.
"Look, Benjamin!" Peter whispered.
"It's Silvertail."
Silvertail slipped over to the nut piles.
The squirrels were still fighting.
They did not see Silvertail.
He took nuts from a pile!
Silvertail hid the nuts under a log.
Then he laughed.
"I have lots of nuts for winter.
I don't have to work at all!"
