If animals can live in harmony why can't adults take a cue from them. With the Hurricanes ravishing everywhere help is needed every where we look.

    Yes, it would be nice, but unfortunately, greed and jealousy in many humans seems to be the main motivating forces. Thanks for your read , review and comment.

An attractive option for this contest I like both the squirrel and the chipmunk. You have created a beautiful story, and what started as a fight ends in a fascinating tale of friendship and help. Good luck with the contest.

An interesting story where two animals are personified, but would animals really divide their space in half? From what I have heard, it is almost a case of survival of the fittest. But it's nice to dream of pleasant cooperation. Best wishes.

    You it seems man cannot equitably divide wealth and resources either, but I agree, it is nice to dream. Thank you for taking the time to read and your comments.

What a sweet story of peacefully negotiated domestic resolution - share and share alike. They could've ended up fighting about which part of the backyard had the best nut trees, but sharing was the best policy. We can learn a lot from animals. Elect Squirrel!!

    Squirrel might make a good UK prime minister too.

    Yes, I understand you too have a similar problem to the U.S.

    I actually live in New Zealand and am quite happy with our young female Prime Minister. She has good values and is kind, intelligent and compassionate.

That's cute. Both are cute chubby cheeked little thieves. We were camping one summer and I thought the kids were sneaking marshmallows, till I saw one travelling up a tree! But if they can come to an agreement, perhaps humans could take a lesson from them. Good luck in the contest.

What a great poem. Sometimes life can get rather cruel when they fight over 'nothing'. I love writing about squirrels. Enjoyed reading your story about the chipmunk and the squirrel. Good luck.
