サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this whimsical story, a group of squirrels led by Squirrel Nutkin travel to Owl Island to gather nuts. As part of a polite tradition, the squirrels bring gifts to Old Brown, the island’s resident owl, in exchange for permission to collect nuts. Unlike his companions, the irreverent Squirrel Nutkin refuses to show respect. Instead, he dances around Old Brown and teases him with riddles. Each day, the other squirrels present their gifts, while Nutkin’s taunting continues—until Old Brown finally loses patience. Seizing Nutkin, the owl manages to bite off part of his tail before Nutkin barely escapes.
This tale highlights the value of courtesy and respect—and the consequences of reckless mischief.
