Rosy and Evelyn started walking towards the oak tree happily with the Robin. A big bunch of fireflies glowed like a golden flame and guided their way. Rosy asked the Robin, " We are much thankful to be invited to the party. Can you tell me the reason for hosting this party? "
Evelyn who was walking little behind , admiring the moon suddenly came forward and said, "Yes even I wanted to know why they are having a party and that too late at night?. The Robin smiled and said, "The Squirrels are celebrating. They usually work hard all day collecting nuts. So they are free only at night. The arrangements took so much time. So it has begun now. One of the squirrels saw you both talking in the garden and found you were very good girls. They decided to invite you both. Since they were all busy, they asked me to come to you and invite you.
Rosy again asked the Robin, "We are really glad to be invited over. Do they have parties often? Why are they hosting it now? Are they celebrating anyone's birthday?" There was a look of excitement on Rosy.
The Robin laughed. "No Rosy. Its no one's birthday.The squirrels usually collect nuts and store them in the trunk of the Oak tree. Every time it gets filled, they have a party. It is to congratulate themselves for working so hard."
"That is so sweet of the Squirrels. They know when to work and when to party. It is also a good learning for us. When we work so hard and achieve something, we can enjoy happily. " replied Evelyn brightly.
They started walking with so many happy thoughts in mind when Rosy suddenly remembered something and stopped. "Gifts. We have not got any gifts to give the squirrels. It was so kind of them to invite. But we should not go empty handed to a party. " Evelyn started to think. "But what shall we get at this time of the night to give the squirrels?"
"Its not a problem if you don't have gifts to share. The Squirrels are too friendly. They wont mind."
The Robin replied. "I got an idea" said Evelyn suddenly. "I got my pocket diary and pen. Can we write something to give to the squirrels?"
"Wow that's a great idea. Come lets think and write a beautiful note. " Rosy was too happy.They started to think and discuss. The fireflies buzzed above them giving them enough light to write properly. They were also eager to read the wonderful Present of words from Rosy and Evelyn. As they started to write, the fireflies read them and shouted "Great choice of words. The Squirrels will love them."
The Robin was too eager to read but waited till they complete. Once they completed, the Robin asked for the paper and started to read.
"Small little furs with a very Big Heart
Filling the Oak with nut and nut
Hard work is what that brought you here
Every Party that you deserve."
There was a big smile on the Robin's tiny little beak. "The Squirrels will love this really." It chirped happily. "Lets walk a bit faster now. The Party is about to start" . " Just one final touch. Let me tie something on the paper to make it look festive." Rosy took a big golden thread from the pocket of her gown, rolled the paper and tied the thread. It looked very grand now.
They were so happy. They finally reached the Oak tree. The Squirrels were standing near to guide them on the way up. "Welcome Rosy and Evelyn and thank you for accepting our invitation to the party." They turned to the Robin and the Fireflies. "Thank you so much for bringing them safely here.Come lets all go to the top and start to rock. We have good music, food and lots of fun games."
They all got excited. As they made their way to the top, they could hear music getting loud and louder. Their feet started to tap. The delicious smell of cakes flew here and there making them hungry. There were lots and lots of colored balloons. The festoons were full of glitters and it sparkled everywhere. There were little stars hanging from the branches. The fireflies were all seated on the leaves making them look more green than ever.
There were happiness everywhere. The Squirrels proudly showed their collection of nuts to everyone. They had worked so hard to collect them. Rosy has already made a promise in her mind to work as hard as the Squirrels.
We will also make a promise now Rosy that we will also work hard and never be lazy. You have a great time at the Party. Dance, make merry , enjoy the games and food.
