Percy the Squirrel

I'm going to tell you about a squirrel named Percy. His name is Percy because he was a very persistent little guy. He would sneak into my grandmothers house through her mailbox its one of those mailboxes that are attached to your house so you don't have to go outside to get your mail. Well Percy was a very hungry little guy and so he would go into my grandma's house and find grapes on the kitchen table and he would peel the grapes and eat them. Well you can only guess how my mom and brother reacted when they went into the house and found this starving little critter on the table eating grapes and leaving a mess of grape peelings on the table. With my mother screaming, "It's a squirrel!!" The squirrel jumped off of the kitchen table ran out of the room and into my grandma's bedroom. It took my mom and brother forever to get the squirrel out of the house and had to find a way to make sure the squirrel didn't come back in. My grandpa tried everything that you could think of to keep that squirrel out of his house. But the squirrel kept on trying. Percy even got to the point where he was trying to chew his way through the bathroom window screen. They (my grandparents) think that Percy is a she and that she had been living in their attic and was trying to get back to a nest of babies . But finally she gave up after 3 days. Poor little critter.
