Chip and Dale

There is a mom squirrel that has built a new home in our home . A soft , fluffy nest for its offsprings . It climbs the tree and leaps a long jump on to  our building and enters our home  through the window . It's baby is screaming loud ( a weak one though )  .The mom enters , hushes it's baby , some argument goes on and the mom leaves in a haste  with the baby so silent now . 

By now I am all ready to witness all this . 

The mom squi (Chip ) enters and feeds it's baby . 

The baby (Dale ) is quite old now ( 2-3 weeks old u see ) and is demanding to go out and explore the beautiful world . Here I have tried interpreting their conversation :

Day 1

Chip (Mom ) : O baby , u rn't yet old enough to get out . Stay here , while I am off . U r safe here .

Dale(Baby ) : Mama , let me out , let me follow u . I am bored here u see . Am all alone . There are some other creatures (we humans ) here too .

Chip : Hey , stay away from there , don't even get down from our home . Be in till I come and call out .

Dale : But ..... Mama .... errr ... I want to come along .

Chip : No response , and she was off in search of food .

Story continues for few more days 

Day 6 

Dale : Calling out , chirping out .

Meanwhile we close all the windows so that the baby doesn't escape to the outer world where crows , eagles and cats are ready to have their early morning feast . 

I go out and what do I see , the Chip is on her way to our home climbing the pipelines and trees and approaching our house . I immediately  clear all the ways for her to enter our house 

She comes , the baby squiiing even louder .

I was left spellbound at the beauty of the nature . She is hardly fearful of any thing , even me , as her priority was else where . Woo ! I was like , hats off to u  Chip !! 

She enters the room where she has built her home very precisely . Talks to the baby 

Chip : Dale , why r u out ? Didn't I ask u to stay In ???? (Angry )

Dale : Mamamma ma mama a ma ama  , I am waiting for u . Today I can come out right ?

Chip : Hmmm .... 

Dale : See mama , how I dared to get out of the home and have even climbed this window :) 

Chip : (U idiot )The ppl here are quite believable 

Then she holds her baby in her jaw .The baby fights back wanting to walk on it's own . But Dale's control now being with Chip , shakes Dale  and was off on the new journey . 

Today , I witnessed this beauty and was left with a nice feeling . All day , myself and my sisters joked apart about the baby's reaction after the training :

Dale : [ How I wish I was at home , it is soooooo tiring to climb the trees ]

No wonder , the mother would have had the last laugh !!
