My squirrel chose that moment to change tactics. Instead of running up and down the trees, he started hopping from one tree directly onto another. He jumped over to what looked like the last tree in the line, and then looked up and ahead at a tree that was at the far end of the grove. He seemed to be deliberating.
I mentally measured the distance between trees and it seemed to me that the one at the end was definitely at least two or even three times the distance that he'd previously been jumping. "You can't be serious, little fellow!" I whispered. But he was not looking for my advice. He had dared and won the first few rounds, but here was a massive challenge. What was he going to do?
