She looked down and saw Squeaky, a small, fluffy orange squirrel with a very bushy tail and a tiny blue wool scarf. Squeaky was crying because he had forgotten where he hid his secret winter map that led to his stash of nuts. 'Do not worry, Squeaky,' said A thoughtful girl, kneeling down on the crunchy leaves. She promised to help her furry friend find the map before the first snow started to fall.

The two friends began their search at the Great Oak Tree, which had many hiding spots in its gnarled roots. A thoughtful girl, the child with tan skin and straight black hair, used a small stick to gently move the fallen leaves. Squeaky, the fluffy orange squirrel with a tiny blue scarf, scrambled up and down the trunk, checking every little hole in the bark. They found a shiny beetle and a round pebble, but they did not find the crinkly paper map. It was time to find someone who had a better view of the entire forest.

They visited the Wise Old Pine where Barnaby the Owl lived. Barnaby was a round, wise brown owl with large yellow eyes and a small pair of spectacles perched on his beak. 'Barnaby, have you seen a crinkly map?' asked A thoughtful girl as she looked up into the tall branches. Barnaby adjusted his tiny glasses and hooted softly, explaining that he had seen something fluttering near the Sparkly Stone by the stream. Squeaky did a happy little dance because he remembered that the Sparkly Stone was his favorite place to nap.

They hurried to the edge of the bubbling stream where the water splashed over smooth, gray rocks. A thoughtful girl spotted a rock that shimmered like a diamond in the afternoon sun. 'Is that the Sparkly Stone?' she asked, pointing her finger toward the light. Squeaky, the small, fluffy orange squirrel with a tiny blue scarf, dashed toward the stone and peeked underneath it. Hidden in a dry, sandy pocket beneath the rock was a rolled-up piece of brown paper tied with a piece of yellow string.

Squeaky unrolled the map and let out a joyful squeak because all his winter treasures were safe! A thoughtful girl, the child with tan skin and straight black hair, felt a warm glow of happiness for helping her friend. Squeaky promised to share some of his delicious acorns with the birds and the deer now that he could find them. As the sun set in shades of pink and purple, A thoughtful girl walked home, knowing that the forest friends would all have full bellies this winter. She waved goodbye to the squirrel and the owl, who were already busy planning a forest feast.
