Their m other packed up a little box
of food for each one .
They did not eat it right away .
They all went to sleep .
They slept all winter .
That is their night , y ou know .
On e little nut waked up the oth e r

He said , “ I shall take my stand right here .
So he put hi s feet down to the ground .
He began to eat the food ou t of his box .
He p u shed the box u p as high as he could re ach .
Then he threw it away .
The box was the shell , you see .

It looked m uch li ke the m eat of t h e n ut ; but a p art of it had
a pi nk color .
Pretty soon it began to u nfold .
