Step Back Jack

Rocky the squirrel told the intruder not to come one step closer, or else they would regret it.  Rocky went on to say, “If you choose to come closer, I won’t have any choice and I will have to fight you, and if you have ever been scratched by a squirrel before, you will know that this can be a very unpleasant experience.  You may think that I am a tiny creature, but I have long sharp teeth and claws, so this probably won’t end well for you.  I am certain to leave you with a very deep and painful cut, and there is a good chance that I am carrying some type of nasty disease that you don’t want.  When I am feeling threatened, I will scratch your eyes out, and that won’t be a good look on you.”
