Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in, I was always asked to lend a hand in animal   36   . One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up   37   my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly   38   the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I  39  and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for   40   . It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed,   41   it an orphan(孤儿). Now, the baby was pretty hungry for milk and then left its nest to   42   the neighborhood for help.
I was about to carry it into my   43   when I found several other babies starting to run down the tree from where their nest was. With the first squirrel hid into my   44   , I stood at the base of the tree and was   45   when three more babies ran right down into my hands. Those dear little creatures were so happy to feel safe and   46   ,and they all held each other close in my shirt. I took them home and   47   them bread and milk to eat. The poor starving things went   48   as they swallowed the meal.
I phoned a lady in the next town who    49  a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large   50   surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well   51   to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.
I love that those little girls cared enough about the squirrels to seek out the   52   of the Animal Lady! And I really   53   getting to help the baby creatures. And then the   54   of caring continued    55    the lady with the squirrel shelter took them in. How wonderful to be part of a chain of kindness.
