Seedless

Seedles is the only grey squirrel of the linden tree. The last linden tree left on the large meadow.

That’s how he is called by the red squirrels who always hoard a large supply of seeds in their burrows, but also by woodpeckers, badgers…

Seedless only eats what he finds on the spot. Never the seeds. He actually hides them in little holes… a small one near the dog rose, one close to the pale stone, one where it seems good to him, where it seems safe to him.

The funny thing is that Seedless can hardly remember where he hides his loot.

– No wonder… – everyone says – Distracted as he is!

The day will come, however, when the inhabitants of the Big Linden tree will have to give the distracted squirrel his due and consider him an asset to all.
