In a jungle, there is a very big and old tree. A family of squirrels find the tree and decide to stay there. The mummy squirrel just gives birth to a baby squirrel. Everyday, the daddy squirrel goes to find food and mummy squirrel stays at home to take care of the baby.
One day, while the mummy squirrel is making the baby to sleep, suddenly she hears someone knocks on the tree continuously. The knocking sound is so irritating that it makes the baby sqyurrel can't sleep and cry.
The mummy squirrel goes out the hole to see where the sound is coming from. She sees a woodpecker is knocking the tree with his beak. She is angry and shouts to the woodpecker, "Hey, go away! You are disturbing my baby sleeping."
But the woodpecker continues to do his work. The mummy squirrel gets really angry and throws some nut shells on the woodpecker. The woodpecker is frightened and flies away.
The mummy squirrel is happy that they are peaceful again.
However, after a few weeks, the tree becomes weaker and weaker. The worms bite the tree and eventually the tree dies. During one stormy night, the strong wind blows down the tree. The daddy and mummy squirrels are able to escape, but the baby squirrel dies of falling down from the tree.
"The tree would have stayed alive if I didn't chase away the woodpecker," sobs the mummy squirrel. But it is too late...
