Book One: The Story Begins

Chapter One: Neema: Intro

"Kenji!" I called to my friend Kenji who was stealing my acorns. "Give those back! Those are mine! Get your own!" Oh, that Kenji, he makes me so mad! But, on the other hand, I could hug him. I love him dearly, you know, in the friendly kind of way. "Kenji!" Urgg. Anyway, back to me. Hold on. "Kenji, give me my acorns! No! Don't eat them! Kenji! Those were mine!"

"They were yours, but they're mine now, unless you want them back?"

"No thank you!" Well, there goes my lunch! Anyway. I'm Neema. I live on the island of Kleetcha, in the village of Omna, and am part of the tribe Herlk Tooh. I'm only just barely a teenage squirrel, my birthday was last season. I have a mum, Dorna, a dad, Thornpaw, and a brother, Oaktooth. I see you laughing! Don't laugh! It's not funny! Stop laughing! Anyways. I live in a nice little cottage with all of them. My best friend Kenji Fluffnose, who stole my ACORNS, lives next door.

Oh, no! Kenji's coming! "What now, acorn-brain?"

"Mum made come say I'm sorry. And I brought you these." Oh! How sweet! He brought me some acorns! Too bad! That won't be good enough! "why don't you take them?"

"What you did was too bad, that you can't fix it."

"Come on, Neema! Take the acorns." Arrg! "Neema! Get off me! Hey! I thought you didn't want those acorns!' He tries to stop me from taking his acorns.

"Changed my mind!" Too bad for you, Kenji! I ran off to my cottage to eat my acorns.
