Squirrel Shared His Nest with Owl

This story is written for younger children to highlight the environmental changes that could impact their activities, reassure them, and relieve their anxiety and fear. These changes not only disrupt their daily routines, but may also require them to temporarily take shelter in places other than their family homes for safety. The sudden changes also put other living species close to us in harm’s way. It is documented that these creatures also recognize the danger of being caught in a storm and wind. They seek refuge in tall trees and return to their homes and nests after the storm passes.

In writing this short story, I have emphasized that, regardless of whether a creature is a predator or prey, when both face a common threat such as a storm, they share resources and accommodate each other to overcome the danger – just as we do by helping friends and neighbors during natural disasters.
