"Hi there Sammy. How are you this morning?" asked Mrs. Green.
"I'm just fine and nutty. Thank you for asking though," said little Sammy Squirrel.
"I wonder were I stored my seeds though," he thought.
"You're not trying anything funny today are you?" asked Mr. Treehugger. "After all this is a Nature Center, not a cartoon squirrel house.
"You're right Mr. Treehugger. I'm sorry for the trouble I used to cause. Today I am going to give everyone here a big surprise," said Sammy.
"Okay Sammy, but be careful," he said when he left.
The wind blew, and a pack of seeds hit Sammy's head. "Ouch!" he said. "My seeds! I've found them!" he cried.
Sammy called all of his animal friends such as Anna Woodpecker, Nutty Squirrel, Raven Crow, and Punching bag Cat. "Okay, we need to make the best Arbor Day party ever for our non furry or feathery friends. Who's with me?" Sammy said.
"We are!" they said together.
"Okay then, Nutty plant these seeds almost everywhere. Got it?"
"Yes sir," Nutty said, and he left.
"Now then, you guys whip this place into shape", Sammy told them.
"Okay, Sammy," all said.
At 3:00 p.m. the humans came back to a surprise!
"Who did this wonderful thing?"
"I don't know."
"It is rather beautiful though."
"Thank-you for coming and Happy Arbor Day" said Sammy and his pals.
They sang, dance, helped out and had a greater friendship with the humans. This is what I would call the best Arbor Day party ever. Without the seeds there wouldn't be a party.

Sammy Squirrel was walking down the street when he saw that there wasn't many trees about. He was walking to the produce market, when he saw a cloud of confusion. He quickly bought his food and quickly walked home. He didn't want to become confused.
Now this squirrel was smart and he was a scientist. He was studying geology at the nature center. He was walking to work the next sunny day, when the sky all of a sudden became dark. He looked up and saw thousands of clouds of confusion. He ran to work. He was working on an experiment with seeds involved. He ran to the farm not too far away. He threw the seeds into the holes. He took his experiment and splashed it above the seeds. In five seconds thousands of trees spurted out of the ground. The clouds were made out of lots of chemicals, so the trees sucked out all the toxic waste and bad chemicals. The clouds were destroyed and the town ran up to Sammy, cheering.

"Hello everybody, my name is Sammy the squirrel. I brought vegetable seeds, plant seeds and many different kinds of seeds in the gardening shop in the nature center. I find this center very handy because it has all the things I need in it. I, Sammy Squirrel, love shopping in the nature center, but the other day I saw a big notice was put up on front of the nature center.
It said, "Queen of England visiting Nature Center as 4:00pm until 12:00pm. With her beloved Welsh Corgi seeds, she will be arriving here today in a Hummer Stretch Limo and will be leaving in that Limo with her lucky squirrel. Who could be her lucky squirrel? Nobody knows, so be here at the Nature Center today!"
"Hmm…" Sammy squirrel said. "A chance to meet the Queen and go out on a trip with her in a limo. I am gonna be here tonight."
Sammy the squirrel ran to his home in a tree, until it was time to be at the nature center. It was time Sammy squirrel ran to the nature center and met the Queen. When the Queen announced her lucky squirrel, all the squirrels were waiting to hear and even Sammy squirrel who was shouting out, "Pick me, my dear Queen for it is a rainy day and I will spread a cloak under your feet so that you wont get wet."
The Queen was amazed to hear Sammy, so she picked him to be the lucky squirrel and gave him some seeds, and they all went off on their trip happily ever after.
