My special friend Chip.

We have a chipmunk that has been living in our yard ever since we first moved here. I became friends with him when I was going down the stairs (when I was walking good), and he ran in front of me into a small hole in the rocks. I named him Chip.

I like Chip because he's very cute and fast. One time we were running up from our secret hideout, and I saw Chip running along the rocks. My sister tried to throw a ball at him, but he went underneath a big rock. He's smart.

I did a little research and found out that chipmunks hibernate in the winter and need tons and tons of food when they wake up. So I decided to build a small house over his hole in the ground with lots of food inside. They next day all the food was gone!!! I'm sure Chip took it. Do you like my house?

My saying for the day is: If you have a hole in your yard, don't stick your hand in it. Trust me. It's not always a chipmunk's home.
