00:00This tiny baby squirrel is trapped at the bottom of a deep wooden rain barrel.
00:04She cannot climb the smooth walls, and the sun is going down.
00:08But wait! Someone kind is coming to help!
00:12Meet Nia, a tiny baby squirrel with the fluffiest tail you have ever seen.
00:18On a bright sunny morning, she was chasing her favorite golden acorn all around the garden.
00:24The acorn rolled and rolled right up to the big old rain barrel.
00:28Nia jumped after it and tumbled straight inside.
00:32The barrel was dry and safe, but the smooth walls were far too tall for her little legs.
00:38Nia was not hurt, not one little bit.
00:41She sat calmly on a soft pile of dry leaves at the bottom, gazing up at the sky.
00:47She just needed a little help, and help was already on its way.
00:53That is when kind little Nia came out to water the flowers.
00:57She heard a faint scratching sound, peeked inside the barrel, and gasped.
01:03A baby squirrel!
01:05She knew exactly what to do.
01:08Nia took off her soft wooly scarf and lowered it into the barrel like a climbing rope.
01:13Nia sniffed it, grabbed on with her tiny paws, and climbed up, up, up.
01:20Right into Nia's gentle hands.
01:23Nia wrapped Nia in the warm scarf and carried her to the sunny kitchen.
01:28A tiny bowl of warm milk, a pile of crunchy sunflower seeds, and the coziest blanket nap a baby squirrel
01:36ever had.
01:37As the sun began to set, Nia carried Nia to the big old oak tree.
01:43And there she was, Mama Squirrel, waiting.
01:48Nia leaped into her mama's arms for the happiest, tightest hug.
01:52To celebrate, Nia left a whole basket of golden acorns and sunflower seeds under the oak tree.
02:00Nia and her mama munched happily together, their fluffy tails waving in the evening breeze.
02:07And that is how a soft scarf, a kind heart, and one brave little squirrel turned an ordinary afternoon into
02:17a rescue to remember.
02:18If this story warmed your heart, share it with someone you love.
