Sam knelt down and asked why Squeaky looked so sad today. The squirrel chirped and pointed to his empty tummy, then to the ground. Sam realized that Squeaky had forgotten where he hid his yummy winter snacks!

The quest for the lost acorns began under a mountain of crunchy, golden leaves. Sam and Squeaky spent a long time digging and tossing the leaves into the air. Sam found a smooth, shiny pebble and a lost red button, but there were no acorns to be found. Squeaky sighed a little squirrel sigh, but Sam didn't give up. He told his furry friend that they just needed to look in a new spot.

Next, they walked over to the old stone garden wall, where a very large crow was perched. The crow looked a bit grumpy with its shiny black feathers and sharp beak. Sam felt a little nervous, but he spoke in a very polite voice to ask for help. Sam asked the crow if he had seen any hidden treasures nearby. The crow tilted its head and pointed its wing toward the hollow log by the garden gate.

Sam and Squeaky ran as fast as they could to the mossy hollow log. Sam reached his hand inside carefully to feel around the dark corners. Instead of crunchy acorns, he felt something soft and warm! When Sam pulled his hand back, three tiny grey mice peeked out and squeaked hello. The mice were taking a cozy nap and hadn't seen any acorns either, but they wished Sam and Squeaky good luck on their search.

Suddenly, Squeaky jumped up and did a little happy dance! He remembered that he liked the color blue, so he must have hidden the snacks near the bright blue mailbox. Sam and Squeaky raced to the front of the house and began to dig near the wooden post. Under a soft patch of clover, they found a giant pile of brown acorns! Sam and Squeaky shared a high-five, happy that the winter snacks were finally safe.
