Storyline
You perch in an oak tree, nibbling an acorn. It's not as tasty as Clark University's french fries. A red squirrel scurries up.
"Hello!" He says, "I'm Ephraim. Are you new here? I’ve never seen such a well-built female before."
Weren’t gray squirrels as common in Concord as they were in Worcester? Either Ephraim was a flirt, or he was calling you fat.
