"I'll hide them in the plantpots" she thought "they will be safe in there."
She quickly planted the first one, carefully covering it with the soil

"Now I just have to remember where I've hidden them when winter arrives" thought the squirrel.
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
