An unlikely pair it may seem, but this is the story of how CoCo The Coyote and Sammy The Squirrel became friends....

It was an unusually warm winter day in San Miguel Meadows. CoCo was laying comfortably on the green grass enjoying the warmth of the sun on his ragged fur.

Chomp...Chomp...

Sammy as usual high up in the Oak Tree chomping on acorns to his delight.

Down the hill, Maggie came out to enjoy some sun. As she began to walk up the hill, she spotted CoCo laying on the grass in the distance.

CoCo saw Maggie as well. CoCo began to walk  towards Maggie with curiosity and mouth wide open down the hill when...

Sammy The Squirrel stopped chomping and started to chatter sternly at CoCo.

As Sammy started to chatter....Maggie became a little nervous.

Sammy Chattered, "CoCo remember Maggie is our friend. You are scaring her. She is just out enjoying the day like you and I.  Now, go back up the hill". 

CoCo, Sadly turned around and started to slowly walk back up the hill. 

Then in a low voice muttered, Nobody wants to be friends. I don't want to hurt anyone I just want to play.

Sammy and the other squirrels were out gathering the acorns that fell from the oak tree....

The Next Day...

Off in the distance, CoCo was coming down the hill to check out what they were doing. All the other squirrels got scared and started to scatter but Sammy stayed....

Sammy remembered how sad CoCo was yesterday and with great hesitation asked CoCo if he wanted to enjoy the warmth of sun together.  CoCo with happiness in his heart walked over to Sammy.

CoCo laid down next to Sammy as Sammy ate his acorns. Both smiling and at that moment knew that they were to become the best of friends.

The End....
