Bang, bang, bang!
Snap, snap, snap!
All day long Bobby Gray Squirrel hid in his nest because he did not like the noise.
He poked his nose out once or twice to see what was the matter.
But each time he heard a loud bang, snap!
Then he jumped back in his nest to hide.
All day long he lay there and listened. And all day long the children played with their fire-crackers.
Fourth of July is fun for boys and girls.
But it is not so much fun for rabbits and squirrels.
