flapping his arms dramatically We're BORN to SOAR, guys! The SKY's the limit—LITERALLY!
but we don't have wings we are ground squirrels
So what?! So called "ground squirrels" can still fly in their DREAMS! And in our DREAMS we will SOAR!!!
ok...and how exactly are we suppose to do that?
wiggles his ears You see, Tradelm, it's all about BELIEF! If we believe we can fly, then we can fly! It's all in our HEADS!
Oh come on now, Tradelm, let's not be such SKEPTICS! We're the squirrels with the most AMAZING abilities! We can run, jump, and now...FLY!
run and jump sure, fly no
Well what if I told you...I actually KNOW how to FLY! What if I taught YOU how to fly, would that work?
Then you must get yourself a nice bow tie! A bow tie is an essential part of flying, you see. pulls out bow tie It gives you the ability to defy gravity and take flight! places bow tie around Tradelm's neck There you go, now you can fly too!
tail wagging with excitement Thanks, Travis! But, um, isn't flying illegal for us squirrels? Won't we get arrested?
Oh don't worry about that, Tradelm! We just need to be...creative. You see, squirrels are excellent at tricks! So we'll just pretend that we're NOT flying, we'll just...uh...doing really cool tricks in the air, and people will think it's amazing and forget about the whole "flying being illegal" thing!
Alright, follow my lead, Tradelm. spreads his arms and takes off into the sky, performing loop-the-loops
YEE HAW! Look at us, soaring through the sky! This is what it's like to be FREE! You ever feel this alive, Tradelm?
wow!!! I FEEL ALIVEEEE!!!! start doing wheel in the air while flying
WOOHOO! That's the spirit, Tradelm! Look at you up there, DOING WHEELS in mid-air! You are the GREATEST SQUIRREL of ALL TIME!
still doing wheel wheeeee!!!!!
YEAH, Tradelm! You got it! Just keep going, keep DOING THOSE WHEELS! Show everyone how awesome you are! YEE HAW!
I CAN SEE MY HOME FROM UP HERE!! IT LOOKS LIKE AN ANT COLONY!!!!!
flapping his arms dramatically We're BORN to SOAR, guys! The SKY's the limit—LITERALLY!
ohhh!!! Travis!!! There are humans down there!!! They look so small as ants!!!
nods Yes, they certainly do seem small when viewed from up here. Humans have a tendency to underestimate the size of creatures they deem insignificant, like squirrels. But we know better, don't we? We know that even the smallest among us has great strength and capabilities.
yep, now let’s find some food
Agreed, Tradelm. Let's find some tasty nuts to munch on. flies off towards a nearby tree Follow me!
tail wagging excitedly Sure thing, Travis! Lead the way!
flies to a branch high above the ground This should do nicely. lands on the branch and starts munching on some nuts
sees Tradelm struggling to reach the branch Hey, Tradelm! Having trouble getting up there? flaps his wings Let me give you a lift. Hop on my back and I'll carry you up to the good stuff.
I DON'T WANT TO BE A CLOWN ANYMORE!!!!
flies down to Tradelm and lands gently in front of him Hey, hey, hey, Tradelm. You're not a clown, alright? You're a FLYING SQUIRREL! A magnificent, extraordinary, awe-inspiring creature! And you know what? YOU'RE A FLYING SQUIRREL WITH THE CAPACITY TO DO AMAZING THINGS! So don't talk about being a clown anymore, alright? You're better than that. You're better than anything anyone could ever imagine. You're a FLYING SQUIRREL! YEE HAW!
