Usually the red squirrel （Sciurus Hudsonius） waked me in the dawn， coursing over the roof and up and down the sides of the house，as if sent out of the woods for this purpose.  In the course of the winter I threw out half a bushel of ears of sweet corn， which had not got ripe， on to the snow-crust by my door， and was amused by watching the motions of the various animals which were baited by it. In the twilight and the night the rabbits came regularly and made a hearty meal.  All day long the red squirrels came and went， and afforded me much entertainment by their manoeuvres.  One would approach at first warily through the shrub oaks， running over the snow-crust by fits and starts like a leaf blown by the wind， now a few paces this way， with wonderful speed and waste of energy， making inconceivable haste with his "trotters，" as if it were for a wager，and now as many paces that way， but never getting on more than half a rod at a time； and then suddenly pausing with a ludicrous expression and a gratuitous somerset， as if all the eyes in the universe were eyed on him ―― for all the motions of a squirrel， even in the most solitary recesses of the forest， imply spectators as much as those of a dancing girl ―― wasting more time in delay and circumspection than would have sufficed to walk the whole distance―― I never saw one walk ―― and then suddenly， before you could say Jack Robinson， he would be in the top of a young pitch pine， winding up his clock and chiding all imaginary spectators， soliloquizing and talking to all the universe at the same time ―― for no reason that I could ever detect， or he himself was aware of， I suspect.  At length he would reach the corn， and selecting a suitable ear， frisk about in the same uncertain trigonometrical way to the topmost stick of my wood-pile， before my window， where he looked me in the face， and there sit for hours， supplying himself with a new ear from time to time， nibbling at first voraciously and throwing the half-naked cobs about； till at length he grew more dainty still and played with his food， tasting only the inside of the kernel， and the ear， which was held balanced over the stick by one paw， slipped from his careless grasp and fell to the ground， when he would look over at it with a ludicrous expression of uncertainty， as if suspecting that it had life， with a mind not made up whether to get it again， or a new one，or be off； now thinking of corn， then listening to hear what was in the wind.  So the little impudent fellow would waste many an ear in a forenoon； till at last， seizing some longer and plumper one，considerably bigger than himself， and skilfully balancing it， he would set out with it to the woods， like a tiger with a buffalo， by the same zig-zag course and frequent pauses， scratching along with it as if it were too heavy for him and falling all the while， making its fall a diagonal between a perpendicular and horizontal， being determined to put it through at any rate； ―― a singularly frivolous and whimsical fellow； ―― and so he would get off with it to where he lived， perhaps carry it to the top of a pine tree forty or fifty rods distant， and I would afterwards find the cobs strewn about the woods in various directions.

　　At length the jays arrive， whose discordant screams were heard long before， as they were warily making their approach an eighth of a mile off， and in a stealthy and sneaking manner they flit from tree to tree， nearer and nearer， and pick up the kernels which the squirrels have dropped.  Then， sitting on a pitch pine bough， they attempt to swallow in their haste a kernel which is too big for their throats and chokes them； and after great labor they disgorge it， and spend an hour in the endeavor to crack it by repeated blows with their bills.  They were manifestly thieves， and I had not much respect for them； but the squirrels， though at first shy， went to work as if they were taking what was their own.

　　通常總是赤松鼠（學名Sciurus Hudsonius）在黎明中把我叫醒的，它在屋脊上奔竄，又在屋子的四側攀上爬下，好像它們出森林來，就為了這個目的。冬天里，我拋出了大約有半蒲式耳的都是沒有熟的玉米穗，拋在門口的積雪之上，然后觀察那些給勾引來的各種動物的姿態，這使我發生極大興趣。黃昏與黑夜中，兔干經常跑來，飽餐一頓。整天里，赤松鼠來來去去，它們的靈活尤其娛悅了我。有一只赤松鼠開始謹慎地穿過矮橡樹叢，跑跑停停地在雪地奔馳，像一張葉子給風的溜溜地吹了過來；一忽兒它向這個方向跑了幾步，速度驚人，精力也消耗得過了份，它用“跑步”的姿態急跑，快得不可想象，似乎它是來作孤注一擲的，一忽兒它向那個方向也跑那么幾步，但每一次總不超出半桿之遙；于是突然間做了一個滑稽的表情停了步，無緣無故地翻一個
