This is about a squirrel named Miss Suzy.... She is cleaning her little tree house, when squirrel bandits, chase her out of her little home. She finds a toy house, and cleans it up, and finds little toy soldiers, abiding there. They all live together, she as their mother, and they grow to love her, as their dear Miss Suzy. She tells them stories, that they listen attentively to, enjoying each word, some sad, some happy, and all in between. Finally one day, they come to find her crying, and they ask, "Why?" She explains that she misses her home, so the little toy soldiers, all worrying so, all join together, to go outside, to chase out the squirrels, who chased out their mother. They go back home, to dear Miss Suzy, and when they tell her, she is oh so grateful. She goes back home, to her little tree house, and with weeping eyes, they all say goodbye. But before they depart, dear Miss Suzy tells them to, "Come again." With her chestnut broom, and firefly lamp, she cleans up the mess, the mean squirrels made, and when she lies in her bed, in her old oak tree, the tree sways like it did, as she watches the stars... Just like she always did, in her dear little house.
