A Perfect Tree

Bird lives happily in a perfect tree in a quiet park with a view of the ocean. One day, she is woken by strange sounds—Boom! Bonk!—and feels something hit her, but she can’t see what it is. After several interruptions, she finally spots acorns falling and discovers a chipmunk named Kip, who apologizes. Kip explains that he is moving into a hole in the tree and announces that he is Bird’s new neighbor. Bird accepts this warmly.
