The Scarf

“Yes,” said Mr. Squirrel.

“Then is it possible that someone lost it?” asked Crow. “As a matter of fact, I believe I’ve seen Muskrat wearing a handsome orange scarf just like that one.”

“Well,” said Mr. Squirrel, “I suppose that might be the case.”

“You could try to find the rightful owner.”

“Are you sure that’s necessary?”

Crow said, “It’s always necessary to do the right thing, Mr. Squirrel. That scarf could have been a gift.”
