As Sammy climbed down the tree that warm summer morning, he couldn't believe his eyes. Right in front of him was a tray full of his favorite food in all the world; SUNFLOWER SEEDS. Wow! He thought. Where did this feast come from? Was it a gift from the humans? After all, they did provide food for the birds. Maybe this was a special treat, meant just for him. But there was a problem. The tray of sunflower seeds was inside some strange contraption; a long, narrow box made of metal wire. He could see and smell those inviting seeds, but without entering the cage, he couldn't quite reach them.
"Get away from there," scolded Father Squirrel "Those seeds were put there to tempt you, and if you go inside the cage to get them, you'll be trapped. You'll be taken away, and we'll never see you again."
Sammy should have listened to his father ...
