The Castaway

He had been a castaway for nearly two weeks, and now he was starving.  He had been unable to catch fish or find any native fruits.

Just as he was about to give up, his luck changed.  He spied a squirrel eating a nut and was able to sneak up behind it, unnoticed. In a flash, he grabbed the nut from the squirrel and popped it in his mouth.  He laughed at the squirrel as it ran away.
