This is Rhea. Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People. I've turned off my email notifications

so we will not have any interruptions. Hey, where's that water coming from?

Huh, it looks like there might be a leak in my studio. I cannot have a leak in my studio.

What about my cactus collection? The cactuses could get over-watered. It would be a disaster.

Plus, my microphone could stop working, which would present a challenge. Wait a second.

It hasn't rained in weeks. How could there be a leak? Give me a minute. I need to climb up my

ladder to investigate. I'll be right back. Ouch. Okay, so the good news is there's no leak.

The bad news is the studio spiders have decided to use an eye dropper to get my attention.

Don't worry, I confiscated it. Right before I fell off my ladder and landed on my cactus

collection. I should probably move them. Doesn't really make sense to have 17 cactuses just sitting

on the floor in the middle of my studio. But that can wait. We have a story to get to. It's called

Squirrels. New home. Take it away, Harper Grace. Remember, there are no pictures. You have to

imagine them in your mind. You can imagine them however you want. Okay, here we go.

Squirrel shifted in his little nest of leaves. He was in the midst of a troubling

dream. Squirrel, you shall remain here for the rest of your natural life.

Said a voice. It was the voice of his tree who didn't typically speak to him outside of dreams.

You will spend every day and night fixing all of the problems I decide to gift to you.

I don't want your gifts. Termites. No, mildew. Don't do it. There will be rains. So many rains.
