Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Story of a Thousand-Year Pine, and Other Tales of Wild Life
I am sure you know the home of the pond lily. The giant cactus and a few other strange asso ciates make their home in the desert. Although animals move about, most of them, like the pond lily, live all their life in the locality of their birth. Animals are not wandering gypsies.
A chipmunk makes her home at one end of my cabin. She claims as her territory an area several yards in diameter and rarely does She venture 03 her own ground. There are other chipmunks around, each having its own territory. The bluebirds, wrens, and robins often alight in her pasture. But if the chipmunk that claims a little pasture at the other end of the cabin comes into her pasture, she scolds. Surrounding the cabin is a much larger territory that is claimed by a pair of rabbits. Within this there are per haps 100 or more chipmunk pastures.
