The day Mr Squirrel fell

The most unexpected thing happened yesterday.

I was on a taxi. The driver was happily driving and I was doing my make-up. Suddenly I heard the loudest "THUD!" ever. Both of us were shocked. For a moment, I thought ... man! Did we knock into someone? Nothing leh... Windscreen still intact... Both of us looked shocked and then ... Mr Squirrel rolled down the windscreen from the top of the taxi.

Oh no... He was swinging from one tree to the next ... missed and fell flat on the taxi, bounced off the windscreen to the top then rolled down again.

Poor squirrel. I thought he fell to his death. The driver examined him while he drove on and commented "Still alive.... Only concussed." Oh Gosh! The poor squirrel was knocked out by the collision and he fainted. The driver was nice enough to pull over at the side of the road to and put the squirrel on the grass patch so that he can rest on the grass while he regains consciousness instead of hanging on the windscreen for the whole stretch of CTE.

Uncle was so clever. He picked a long tree branch with leaves to "brush" the squirrel off his wiper. The poor, terrified squirrel thought this was yet another ordeal. He clenched tightly on the wiper and used the last bit of his energy to put on a struggle with the Uncle who was just trying to help him.

Finally, the man overpowered the animal. Uncle said the squirrel suffered internal injuries. There was blood by the side of its mouth. Poor thing..... We left him laying on the grass and drove off. I hope Mr Squirrel is still alive today. Just in case you're wondering.... that is NOT Mr Squirrel's picture... It's just a picture I found on the website. =)
