I've found some! I've found some!
gpt
Yes, those are chestnuts, Bert said.
human
Now see whether you or Flossie will fill a bag first.
gpt
I've got a whole lot of nuts! Flossie cried.
human
Oh, such a lot. Come on Freddie and--Ouch! Oh dear!
gpt
What is it? asked Nan, quickly running over to her little sister.
human
Did you hurt yourself?
gpt
Something stuck me in the fingers,
human
Maybe it's a snake,
gpt
No, it's only chestnut burr stickers, said Nan.
human
I'll get them out for you, Flossie. After this, open the burrs with a stick. Oh, look here! she cried, as she glanced down at the ground.
gpt
Flossie _has_ found a whole lot of nuts in a pile!
human
How did they get there?
gpt
Some squirrel or chipmunk must have gathered them in a heap, ready to carry to its nest, said George.
human
Well, we'll just take them, as it will save us the trouble of hunting for them. Put them in your bag, Flossie.
gpt
But won't the squirrel be hungry?
human
Well, don't take quite all of them. But there are lots of chestnuts this Fall, and the squirrels can find and gather them more easily than we can. Take them, Flossie.
gpt
I'll give Freddie some too,
